Antrim County is a county located in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the population was 23,580.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/26/26009.html )〕 The county seat is Bellaire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The name is taken from County Antrim in Northern Ireland. YMCA Camp Hayo-Went-Ha, the oldest American summer camp that sits on its original site, occupies about one square mile on the shore of Torch Lake in Central Lake Township. Boys first attended Hayo-Went-Ha (variant of ''Hiawatha'') in 1904. ==History== The county was formed in 1840 as Meegisee County. Meegisee (meaning "eagle"), was the name of a Chippewa chief who signed the 1821 Treaty of Chicago and the 1826 Treaty of Mississinwas. It was renamed Antrim County, one of the Irish or Scots Irish names given to five renamed Michigan counties in 1843, supposedly in deference to the increasing number of settlers of Irish and Scots Irish heritage in Michigan at that time. In the text of the 1843 legislative act, the name was misspelled as "Antim".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Clarke Historical Library, Central Michigan University )〕 Separate county government was organized in 1863.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Antrim County )〕 The county seat was originally located in Elk Rapids, but was moved to Bellaire in 1904 after 25 years of litigation.〔Historic marker in front of Bellaire courthouse〕 In 1950 its population was 10,721.〔Columbia Lippincott Gazetter, 1952, p. 80〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antrim County, Michigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
