Shakerag is a small part of Johnston City, Il. It sits on the east side of Johnston City largely between the old Corinth blacktop and the cemetary road. It was named thus because during the prohibition era, there was a lot of "moonshining" there. It is said that when a large batch of illegal booze was ready to sell that there was a flagpole located in the area upon which a white rag would be run up and shaken to get attention. this is why it is call "Shakerag". This was passed down through time and the accuracy of this story cannot be proven although it is believed by most older citizens of the area to be true.
