Gust Hagberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gust Hagberg was a Swedish Immigrant to the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota during the late 19th century. Hagberg lived along the eastern end of the Duluth and Northern Minnesota Railway, or the Alger Line, where it passed northwest of Little Cascade Lake.^[1] He was known by the name Jockmock, derived from the name of his hometown in Sweden, Jokkmokk.^[1] He lived here until at least 1924, allegedly providing alcohol to nearby lumberjacks.^[1]

Hagberg was the namesake of several lakes or water features in Cook County: Gust Lake, the source of the Poplar River,^[2] Jock Mock Lake, which lies nearby but is tributary to Cascade River, and Jock Mock Bay, part of Lake Brule.
