History

The name Nebagamon is derived from the Chippewa Indian phrase “Nee-bay-go-moh-win”, translated as “place to hunt deer by fire on the water.” However, if you examine the journals and maps of French explorer Joseph Nicollet, this could be a mistake in translation. It is chronicled on Wednesday, August 9, 1837 by Nicollet, that Nibegomowin Creek (Now Nebagamon Creek, sharing its name with the lake) was, at the time, referred to as Sleeping Bear River. Nibegomowin more closely translates to night-time game waiting and could possibly be a place where game, such as bear, rested or were tracked in the night. Sleeping Bear River (Nebagamon Creek) can be seen on Nicollet’s 1843 map, Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi River.
