Description:

From WikipediaThe English name for the Gooseberry River first appeared in 1823 on a map made by Major Stephen Harriman Long during his expedition of the Canada–US border region. There are two competing theories about the origin of the Gooseberry's name. The Ojibwe name for the river is zhaaboominikaani-ziibi, which translates to River Place of Gooseberries. Alternatively, the name has been taken as a translation of the name of the French explorer Groseilliers. The name Reviere de Groseilliers appeared on early French maps of the area as early as 1670, and Groseilliers visited the North Shore region in the 1660s.[3] The puzzle of the true origin has not been solved conclusively, and the state park lists both as plausible explanations.[ 

From GNIS:

  • Gooseberry River. Flows for 23 miles into Lake Superior.
  • Little Gooseberry River: 4.8 mile long tributary of Gooseberry River.
