Charles was a schoolteacher in Bustletown (now a part of Philadelphia) for a few years before moving to Minneapolis. His impact upon the life and society of Minneapolis were such that a Biographical Sketch was prepared by the Minnesota State Horticultural Society in 1888, put up in extra binding and presented to Chrles' widow, Susanna. Following are portions of that Sketch:

"At the age of 16 he began teaching and followed that profession for 27 years, 13 of which he was engaged as Principal of a Grammar school in Philadelphia. In 1852, he came to Minnesota and taught school at St Anthony two terms. In May 1852, he bought Philip Bassett's claim for $100, which was the ninth claim made. It contained 160 acres of land in what is now the heart city of Minneapolis....He lived on his claim a few years and laid it out in blocks and lots, called Hoag's addition to Minneapolis. He was a member of the first town council, second treasurer of the county, and superintendent of schools from 1870 to 1874....
To Charles Hoag is due the name Minneapolis, a combination of the Greek and Indian tongue (literally water city), which has incorrectly been ascribed to Mr George D Bowman, editor of the St Anthony Express,...
Charles Hoag took an active part in the organization of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society in 1866, then called the MN Fruit Growers Association, and elected vice president in 1866 & 1867. He was alos a member of the State Agricultural Society where he advocated a means be adopted to procure from Russia for naturalization in Minnesota apple, pear & cherry trees. He was elected president of the Horticultural Society in 1868....
He died 1 February 1888 at his late residence 528 Aldrich avenue, Minneapolis in his 80th year. The immediate cause of his death was water on the heart, but his last illness may be traced to a fall he received while picking cherries in October."

Charles and his first wife, Ann, had 3 children. He and his second wife, Susanna had a daughter, Grace, born 3 June 1879 in Richfield, Minnesota (from "Family and Descendants of Enoch Hoag and Judith Varney" by Philip Graham [op.cit.], 2003).
