Okemos, Unincorporated community in Ingham County, Michigan, US.

Located 10 miles east of Lansing, Okemos extends across 17 square miles of land with the Red Cedar River flowing through its territory.

The settlement, established in 1839 by Freeman Bray as Hamilton, received its current name in 1859 to honor Chief John Okemos of the Ojibway people.

The Nokomis Learning Center preserves Native American heritage through educational programs, exhibits, and traditional craft demonstrations for the local community.

The Meridian Mall functions as the primary retail center, featuring numerous stores, restaurants, and the Studio C theater for entertainment purposes.

The Goetsch-Winckler House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, represents one of Michigan's examples of Usonian architecture with its characteristic horizontal lines.
