==History==
The first non-native settlers to the area arrived between 1825 and 1830.  [[Cass Lake (Michigan)|Cass Lake]] drew many wealthy residents to purchase land along the lake for vacationing.  In 1890, a railway line was built through Keego Harbor to connect to [[Detroit]] and [[Pontiac, Michigan|Pontiac]], making the area much more accessible.  At the turn of the century, a prominent Pontiac lawyer, Joseph E. Sawyer, purchased and platted land just to the southwest along [[Orchard Lake (Michigan)|Orchard Lake]].  He built a canal to connect the smaller Dollar Lake to Cass Lake and declared the area to be a harbor on the eastern edge of Cass Lake.  He named the area Keego, which was a phonetic spelling of the [[Anishinaabemowin]] word "giigoonh" meaning "fish."<ref>{{cite web|last=Ojibwe People's Dictionary|url=https://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/main-entry/giigoonh-na|title=giigoonh|date=2024|access-date=February 27, 2024}}</ref> The spelling Keego comes from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, ''[[The Song of Hiawatha]]''.  The community was originally part of [[West Bloomfield Township, Michigan|West Bloomfield Township]] before incorporating as an independent city in 1955.<ref>{{cite web|last=City of Keego Harbor|url=https://www.keegoharbor.org/community/pages/about-keego-harbor|title=About Keego Harbor|date=2020|access-date=May 2, 2020}}</ref>
