| The county was first named "Unwattin" after an Ottawa Indian Chief but was later changed to Osceola after an Indian Chief from Florida. The first white settler was Nathan Hersey, a fur trapper. Delos A Blodgett, a lumber baron, who planted the county's first crop of potatoes. For awhile lumbering was Osceola's main industry. Today Osceola is a leading Oil and Gas industry and there is still some farming. |
