History
on a Pinhead
Noack's original name had been Hochkirk when it was settled
as the northernmost of the Wendish settlements that radiated out of
Serbin
in Lee County. The name was changed to Noack in 1902 when the application
for a post office was filled out by the postmaster - John Ernest Noack. |

A school was opened in the 20s but has since been consolidated with
larger schools. |
