Etymology
The name Askeaton is of Ojibwe origin. It is derived from ashkiodon 'raw mouth'.[4]
"Askeaton" is also the name of a small village in southwestern Ireland near Limerick. By the late 1800s, a large number of Irish immigrants had immigrated to this area of Brown County,[5] and founded one of Askeaton's most prominent landmarks, St. Patrick's Church.[6] St. Patrick's church is served by priests of St. Clare's parish.[7]
