Omeena County was a northwest Michigan county. It was set off and founded in 1840 from Michilimackinac County.[1] Its seat was Wequetong, an Indian Camp on the west arm of the Grand Traverse Bay. In 1851, it was annexed to present-day Grand Traverse County, Michigan. Later, Wequetong was renamed Traverse City.

It is one of 28 extinct Michigan counties. They are: Aishcum, Anamickee, Bleeker, Brown, Cheonoquet, Des Moines, Dubuque, Forest, Iowa, Isle Royale, Kanotin, Kautawaubet, Kaykakee, Keskkauko, Manitou, Meegisee, Michilimackinac, Mikenauk, Neewago, Notipekago, Okkuddo, Omeena, Shawano, Tonedagana, Unwattin, Wabassee, Washington and Wyandot.[citation needed]
