Keego Harbor is a city in Oakland County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

In 1890, a railway line was built through Keego Harbor to connect to Detroit and Pontiac, making the area much more accessible.

At the turn of the century, a prominent Pontiac lawyer, Joseph E. Sawyer, purchased and platted land just to the southwest along Orchard Lake.

He named the area Keego, which was a phonetic spelling of the Anishinaabemowin word "giigoonh" meaning "fish.

"[6] The spelling Keego comes from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, The Song of Hiawatha.

The community was originally part of West Bloomfield Township before incorporating as an independent city in 1955.

[5] The small Dollar Lake and canal remain within the city of Keego Harbor.

36.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
