| OTSEGO COUNTY, first known as
"Okkuddo" County, was created from
Michilimackinac County in 1840. Three years later, the
county was renamed Otsego County after Otsego County, New
York. Located in the north central Lower Peninsula, Otsego County is truly a four season playground. Such sports as fishing, hunting, golfing, and the winter sports: down-hill and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling all combine to make Otsego County a great place any time of the year. It is located on the 45th parallel, half way between the Equator and North Pole. Gaylord is the county seat. There are five towns (with post offices) within its boundaries: Elmira, Gaylord, Johannesburg, Vanderbilt, and Waters. (see map) Otsego County is comprised of nine townships: Bagley, Charlton, Chester, Corwith, Dover, Elmira, Hayes, Livingston, and Otsego Lake. (see map) |
