== History ==
In 1869, Perry Andress established a homestead in the area, naming it after his daughter, Mancelona Andress. Two years later, the [[Mancelona Township, Michigan|Township of Mancelona]] was established, and named after her as well. In 1872, an extension of the [[Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad]] was extended through the area, and a station called Mancelona was established.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mancelona Chamber of Commerce - History |url=https://www.mancelonachamber.org/tourist/history#:~:text=History%20of%20Mancelona&text=The%20Township%20of%20Mancelona%20was,at%20the%20home%20of%20Mr. |access-date=December 27, 2022 |website=www.mancelonachamber.org}}</ref>
In 1882, an organization by the name of "John Otis & Company" built a large charcoal furnace just south of Mancelona. The company also platted a town around the furnace, naming it "'''Furnaceville'''". Soon after this, the [[Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad]] built a station at that town. The furnace flourished, and in 1886 a group of businessmen from [[Grand Rapids]] bought out the company, and renamed the company Antrim Iron Works and the town Antrim. A large [[blast furnace]] and iron works was built on the site, and the new company began doing business. The iron company shuttered in 1945, and was demolished in the 1980s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Antrim Iron Company {{!}} Grand Rapids History Center |url=https://archive.grpl.org/agents/corporate_entities/116 |access-date=December 27, 2022 |website=archive.grpl.org}}</ref>
