Name
The name Askeaton is of Ojibwe origin. It is derived from ashkiodon 'raw mouth'.
"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, and founded one of Askeaton's most prominent landmarks, St. Patrick's Church. St Patrick's church is served by priests of St Clare's parish.
