Population

The sign outside the town lists the population at 89, but this number has remained static for several decades and is arguably inaccurate. In 2011, local sources said the population has been as low as 37 residents in the past.
Origin
Puposky's name is derived from an
Ojibwe word which means "shaking ground" referring to the swampy terrain.
