It was established as a Wendish settlement called Hochkirk  when Peter Zieschang moved there in 1870. It was renamed Noack in 1902, when John Ernest Noack became postmaster. The community’s Lutheran church was organized in 1891 and was still active in 1984. A school was established there is 1922 and the Noack oilfield was developed in 1933. In 1990 Noack had a population of fifty and four retail business.
