Cheboygan is a Native American word first applied to the  Cheboygan River. Permanent settlers were not  in Cheboygan until 1844. The first sawmill was built in the 1870's. Cheboygan's population expanded until the late 1890's due mostly to the  lumbering, shipping, and fishing industries.  The county seat, Cheboygan, has a coast guard base and hosts the Northern Michigan Fair.
