Everything about Allendale Michigan totally explained
Allendale is an
unincorporated community in
Ottawa County in the
U.S. state of
Michigan. It is also a
census-designated place (CDP) for statistical purposes. The population was 11,555 at the 2000 census. The community is located within
Allendale Charter Township and the CDP area consists of about the northern two thirds of the township, from the eastern boundary with the
Grand River west along Pierce St., north along 75th Ave., then west along Lake Michigan Drive (
M-45) to the western boundary of the township. Apart from the CDP definition, the community is centered at the intersection of M-45 and 68th Ave., which are the only roads which cross the Grand River in the county east of
Grand Haven. It is named after Hannibel Allen, a descendant of
Ethan Allen, according to the sign adjacent to a portrait painting located in Grand Valley State University's Cook-DeWitt Center. This sign is wrong, the town has no connection to Ethan Allen. The name, though spelled differently, is thought to have come from the Scottish song Rose of Allandale, as the earliest European settlers included many Scots.
