History of Lake County
The county was created by the Michigan Legislature in 1840 as Aischum County (possibly from eshkam meaning "diminishing" in Ojibwe), before being renamed Lake County in 1843 for its many lakes. It was administered by a succession of other Michigan counties prior to the organization of county government in 1871.
