The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The name Pensaukee is of Menominee origin, reflecting the town's origin as a Menominee settlement. It is derived from pindj-sau-gee 'inside the mouth of a river'. An alternative derivation is from the Menominee word Apǣhsahkyah 'brant goose'.

The town established a post office in 1855. It remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1957.
