Roscommon County, County administrative division in Northern Michigan, US.
Roscommon County spans 580 square miles across Northern Michigan, with forests, rivers, and lakes occupying a significant portion of its territory.
The county, established in 1840 and organized in 1875, received its name from County Roscommon in Ireland after being initially named Mikenauk County.
The population exhibits strong German, English, Irish, Polish, and French ancestry influences, which shape local festivals, traditions, and community gatherings.
