History

Formed in 1840 from Michilimackinac County and Mackinac County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Missaukee County was created from Michilimackinac County (now Mackinac County) on April 1, 1840, but was not fully organized and remained attached to Michilimackinac for judicial purposes. Over the following decades, Missaukee was detached and reattached to neighboring counties for judicial and municipal purposes: first to Grand Traverse in 1853, then to Manistee in 1858, and finally to Wexford in 1869. The county was fully organized and detached from Wexford on March 11, 1871.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
