On 25 May 1824, the town plat was registered with Wayne County as "<answer>Ann</answer>arbour;" this represents the earliest known use of the town's name. Allen and Rumsey decided to name it for their wives, both named <answer>Ann</answer>, and for the stands of Bur Oak in the 640 acres (260 ha) of land they purchased for $800 from the federal government at $1.25 per acre. The local Ojibwa named the settlement kaw-goosh-kaw-nick, after the sound of Allen's sawmill.
