       not Michigan but,  Chicago translates roughly as " smelly water"
       from a Native American tribe that lived around the area.
       Chicago The name “Chicago” derives from a word in the language
       spoken by the Miami

       and
       Illinois
  HTML http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/625.html<br
       />peoples meaning “striped skunk, ” a word they also applied to
       the wild leek (known to later botanists as Allium tricoccum).
       This became the Indian name for the Chicago River
  HTML http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/263.html,
       in
       recognition of the presence of wild leeks in the watershed. When
       early French
  HTML http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/488.html<br
       />explorers began adopting the word, with a variety of spellings
       ,
       in the late seventeenth century, it came to refer to the site at
       the mouth of the Chicago River.

       Michigan in 1746?
