Oscoda County, County administrative division in Northern Michigan, US.
Oscoda County extends across 572 square miles of land within the Huron National Forest and the AuSable River Valley in Northern Michigan.
The Michigan State Legislature established Oscoda County in 1840, yet its governing structure remained incomplete until 1881, when full administrative operations began.
The name Oscoda derives from Native American Ojibwa words ossin and muskoda, created by geographer Henry Schoolcraft to represent the pebbly prairie landscape.
The county maintains an extensive network of recreational paths, including snowmobile routes, ATV trails, and cross-country skiing tracks throughout its territory.
With 8,219 residents recorded in 2020, Oscoda County holds the position of least populated county in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
