Mackinac County was originally laid out under the name of Michilimackinac in 1818. There are two theories as to where the name came from. One indicates the word as a "place of the Mishinimaki," an ancient tribe that inhabited the island and whose spirits still dwell there. The second refers that the word was the French interpretation of a Native American word that meant "great turtle," the shape of the island from a distance. County links:
