At the very northern end of the Door Peninsula lies Gills Rock, which some have dubbed the jumping-off place because it is surrounded by water on three sides and kind of looks like the end of the world. Actually, this little hamlet was originally named
Hedgehog
Harbor, and the harbor still bears that name. The postmaster general of the
United States wrote the local postmaster, Gottlieb Voight, that
Hedgehog
Harbor wouldn't fit on a stamp and asked him to rename the village.
