Primary County: Antrim
The name,
Antrim, is taken from the County Antrim in Northern
Ireland. Antrim was originally named Meegisee,
meaning eagle, which was the name of a Chippewa
chief who signed the Treaties of 1821 and 1826. The
name Antrim was one of five Irish names given to
renamed counties in 1843, supposedly in deference to
the increasing number of settlers of Irish heritage
in Michigan at that time. In the text of the 1843
legislative act, the name was misspelled as "Antim".
