Kewadin ( kə-WAY-dən) is an unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is located in Milton Township, Antrim County, and is located on the northern shore of Elk Lake, roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of the village of Elk Rapids. As an unincorporated community, Kewadin has no legally defined boundaries or population statistics of its own. However, a post office operates out of the community, with the ZIP Code 49648.[2]
History
The Kewadin area was occupied by indigenous peoples until 1876, when a European settlement was established, known as Indian Town. On June 4, 1883, a post office opened in the community, and it was renamed to Kewadin, after the Ojibwe word giiwedin, meaning 'north'.[3][4][5]
