}}Newaygo County is a county in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 48,460.[1] The county seat is White Cloud.[2] The county was created in 1840, and was organized in 1851. It was either named for an Ojibwe leader who signed the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819[3] or for an Algonquian word meaning "much water".[4]
