History

A post office was established at Pentoga in 1900, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1937.[3][4] The community was given its name by the owners of the Montambo mill. The name Pentoga is the nick name of a Chippewa chiefs wife from the area, it means bull head. [5]

gollark: I think right now degrading batteries are a significant issue.
