Welcome to

Ottawa County,
Michigan ALHN


The American Local History Network is a central point of entry to independent web sites with historical or genealogical content.




Ottawa County was organized in 1837 and was
named after the Ottawa Indian tribe that had lived along the banks of the Grand River.



This county is up for adoption
and is
looking for a very caring person to take care of it.
If you are interested in doing so,
please contact one of the State Coordinators Bonnie, or Lesley.
