Kewadin is an unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is located in Milton Township, Antrim County, and is located on the northern shore of Elk Lake, roughly 2miles northeast of the village of Elk Rapids. As an unincorporated community, Kewadin has no legally defined boundaries or population statistics of its own. However, a post office operates out of the community, with the ZIP Code 49648.[1]
The Kewadin area was occupied by indigenous peoples until 1876, when a European settlement was established, known as Indian Town. On June 4, 1883, a post office opened in the community, and it was renamed to Kewadin, after the Ojibwe word giiwedin, meaning 'north'.[2] [3] [4]
