Pentoga is an unincorporated community in Iron County, in the U.S. state of Michigan. [2]
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 a local mill. [5] It stemmed from the name of a Native American chief's wife; [6] her tribe had made their home along the shore of Chicagon Lake before selling it and moving to the Lac Vieux Desert Indian Reservation.
