Allegan County is a county in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of 2010 census, the population was 111,408.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/26/26005.html )〕 The county seat is Allegan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=June 7, 2011 )〕 The name was coined by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft to sound like a Native American word.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Clarke Historical Library, Central Michigan University )〕 Allegan County comprises the Holland, MI Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Grand Rapids-Wyoming-Muskegon, MI Combined Statistical Area. It is primarily an agricultural area that is rapidly becoming urbanized as the population centers of Grand Rapids on the northeast and Kalamazoo to the southeast expand into Allegan County. The county has long been a regional tourist draw, particularly the Tulip Time Festival in Holland and the area along Lake Michigan. The Lake Michigan shoreline has long been a popular place for vacation homes, and that such development continues, especially around Saugatuck and Douglas. Another draw is Allegan State Game Area, a forest attracting campers, snowmobilers, cross-country skiers and hunters. Allegan County also hosts Saugatuck Dunes State Park with trails through scenic dunes and a swimming beach on Lake Michigan. Lake Allegan is another popular destination.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exploring Lake Allegan )〕 ==History== The boundaries of Allegan County were laid out by the legislature in 1831. The county was later organized in 1835. At that time there were only about four families permanently settled in the area. Among the first settlers of Allegan County were Giles Scott and Turner Aldrich.〔Thomas, Henry F. (Ed.) (1907). (''A Twentieth Century History of Allegan County, Michigan'' ), pp. 4-6.
