Montmorency County was originally named Cheonoquet, after a Chippewa chief, meaning "big cloud".   The present day name honors Count Montmorency, who fought for the colonies in the Revolutionary War.   It is a land of unspoiled wilderness, nestled in the woods between Alpena and Otsego Counties,  a perfect vacationland with many resorts and campgrounds.  The abundant  lakes and streams offer Pike, Bass and Trout fishing, for winter visitors there is snowmobiling and skiing.  Montmorency has three libraries to meet the growing needs of the community.

As a child, my number one best friend was the librarian in my grade school.  I actually believed all those books belonged to her.
