History

The Pine River was called "Poygan Sippi" by Potawatomi Indians^[5] because it flowed into Lake Poygan. The name was contracted to Poy Sippi. It is said to be a corruption of an Indian word meaning "Sioux river."^[6] In the related Menominee language, it is called Pawāhnān-Sīpiah, "Wild Rice Gathering River", referring to the importance of wild rice as a staple crop to the local people.^[7]
