== County Information ==

=== Description ===
The County was named for a Neologism created by Henry Schoolcraft by combining the native words "dusinagon" and "cola", meaning "level lands". The Ojibwe word "tessinagan" can also be translated as "plate". Shell in their language was "ess". The Ojibwe often used a shell or bark from a tree for a dish or plate. The Ojibwe word "tessi-" is used to make the words for shelf, platform, bench, and plate. The County is located in the Thumb area of the state.
