Indiantown is a small, quiet place in Menominee County, Michigan. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it is a group of homes and businesses that does not have its own local government. Instead, it is part of a larger area called Harris Township.
The Story Behind Indiantown's Name
Indiantown got its name because of its interesting past. Long ago, before railroads were built, this very spot was home to a Native American settlement. When the railroad came through and a station was built, people decided to name the new community 'Indiantown.' This name helps remember the original inhabitants of the land. It is a way to honor the history of the area and the people who lived there first.
