The land of wildlife

The Headwaters Country of Vilas, Oneida and Forest counties
harbors the highest concentration of endangered and unique
wildlife found anywhere in Wisconsin, from eagles and ospreys
to the common loon. The pair of American bald eagles gracing
this year’s cover were perched in a mighty oak near a nest site
on Laurel Lake, part of the Three Lakes Chain. The latest state
report shows there are 270 nesting pairs in Vilas and Oneida
counties alone, which is 24% of the state’s total population of
1,142 nesting pairs. Eagles are one of Wisconsin’s greatest con-
servation success stories. --Staff Photo By KURT KRUEGER

EVENTS
The North Woods is recognized across the Midwest
as a recreation paradise, offering boating, hiking and
bicycling, camping and golfing in the summer; hunt-
ing in the fall; snowmobiling, cross-country skiing
and snowshoeing in the winter; and, of course, fish-
ing the year-round.

residents and vacationers throughout the year.
The activities range from art, antique and quilt
shows to summer, fall and winter festivals. Most of
the events include fun for all ages, plus plenty of food

secure $355,000. On Sept. 20, 1961, Eagle River
Memorial Hospital opened its doors. In 1977, due
to the generosity of Col. Norman C. Kalmar, his
wife, Ethel, and the Walter Olson Foundation, the
hospital was updated to include a new emergency
room, medical library, cardiopulmonary rehabili-
tation, an ambulance port and the addition of the
Kalmar Clinic with physician suites.

History: This medical complex, built in the rural
setting of Wisconsin’s North Woods, was made
possible by the late Howard Young, multimillion-
aire. He was an art dealer in New York, as well as
a visitor to Minocqua and a summer home owner
for 65 years. Young died June 23, 1972, at the age
of 94. In his will, he left $20 million to build a new
hospital if the name would be changed from
Lakeland Memorial Hospital to the Howard
Young Medical Center. Howard Young Medical
Center opened its doors in 1977. Elizabeth Taylor,
actress and great-niece of Howard Young was in
attendance at the grand opening. One of televi-
sion’s best-known hosts, Ralph Edwards, was also
there. Edwards helped in the original fund-rais-
ing building campaign for Lakeland Memorial
Hospital. In 1954, Edwards had heard the story of
Dr. Kate, the Penny Parade, the hospital and the
community’s outpouring of help. He featured Dr.
Kate Pelham Newcomb on his television program.
Within a few days of the appeal on his popular
show, 60 sacks of mail had arrived at the Woodruff
Post Office — sacks of letters and postcards all
containing pennies and other forms of money.
Remarkably, $106,000 had been donated (10.6
million pennies) throughout the country and from
people around the world.

niques and they have also completed the 48-hour nutrition certification. We offer many therapies,

INDUSTRY

Industry & Development

Tourism is the lifeblood of the economy in Vilas
and Oneida counties, with the lakes and forests
attracting thousands of vacationers here for the
scenery, the fishing and the water-based recreation.
Hundreds of resorts and some major condomini-
um projects are located on the lakes, while most com-
munities have motels and hotels closer to town.
Besides accommodations, vacationers pour money,
whether directly or indirectly, into almost every busi-
ness. Restaurants, rec centers, wildlife zoos, marinas,
sporting goods stores and taverns are just a few of
the businesses that survive on tourism.
Providing year-round jobs is the wood products
industry, from loggers in the forests to sawmill oper-
ators and furniture manufacturers. In addition to

Fishing for walleye and muskie get the top bill here,
but there are also northern pike, large- and small-
mouth bass, trout and many species of panfish.
If it’s walleye you’re after, 389 of the 1,207 (32%)
walleye lakes in Wisconsin are located in Vilas and
Oneida counties. This is also the place to fish for
muskie, as 368 of the state’s 703 (52%) muskie lakes
are located in Vilas and Oneida counties.
The streams and rivers offer some of the best trout
fishing and canoeing in the Midwest. The mighty
Wisconsin River, which has its source at Lac Vieux
Desert near Phelps, winds its way through both
counties.
Besides water recreation, this huge parkland
boasts hundreds of miles of hiking trails, more than
1,000 miles of scenic hard-surfaced roads for bikers,
dozens of cross-country ski trails and more than
1,000 miles of groomed snowmobile trails.
This is a complete recreational vacation land, as
there are also 17 golf courses (15 public) in Vilas and
Oneida counties, tennis courts, community parks,
picnic areas and ball fields.
The following is a list of lakes over 1,000 and 500
acres, golf courses, parks and beaches, and winter
recreational opportunities in Oneida and Vilas coun-
ties.

PUBLIC FORESTS

Some of Wisconsin’s largest public forest reserves

are located in Vilas and Oneida counties, providing
the key ingredients for the North’s two major indus-
tries — timber products and tourism.
National, state and county forests in or near the
two counties harbor nearly 2 million acres of pub-
licly owned land. There is the 1.5 million-acre Che-
quamegon-Nicolet National Forest, the 226,000-acre
Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest,
the 82,000-acre Oneida County Forest and the
40,894.83-acre Vilas County Forest.
Loggers cut millions of board feet of timber from
the public forests each year, bringing jobs to not only
northern Wisconsin loggers and mill operators, but to
many paper mills throughout the state. Foresters
estimate that there are 4 billion board feet of grow-
ing timber reserves.
The recreation, scenery and wilderness solitude
offered by public forests is of great value to the
tourism industry. The forests are dotted with lakes
and crisscrossed by rivers that offer some of the
state’s best fishing opportunities. There are unending
forests filled with white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse,
bald eagles and other wildlife.
For the adventurer, there are miles of backwoods
hiking trails and 33,000 acres of designated wilder-
ness where nothing motorized is allowed.

Chequamegon-Nicolet
National Forest
The approximately 1.5 million-acre Chequame-
gon-Nicolet National Forest is Wisconsin’s largest
chunk of public land. Established in the 1930s and
administered as two separate national forests until
1998, the Chequamegon-Nicolet spans 11 counties.
Overseeing the forest is Acting Forest Supervisor
Tony Erba. District Ranger Harv Skjerven adminis-
ters the programs on the Eagle River-Florence
Ranger District in parts of Vilas, Oneida, Forest and
Florence counties.
The forest is highly accessible with about 6,800
miles of roads ranging from paved highways to two-
track woods roads. Hundreds of miles of motorized
and nonmotorized trails provide ample recreation
opportunities.
Some trails are associated with destinations of
historic, ecological or scenic value. Solitude can be
found in the five wilderness and 16 semi-primitive,
nonmotorized areas that collectively account for
around 8% of the land base. Developed recreation
sites near water abound with campgrounds, picnic
areas, swimming beaches and boat ramps.
Fishing and hunting spots are plentiful. Hunter-
walking trails and logging roads beckon grouse and
deer hunters. The more than 2,000 lakes (600 more
than 10 acres in size) offer game and panfish. Trout
fishing can be had on more than 1,200 miles of cold-
water streams.
Wildlife viewing opportunities include 10 watch-
able wildlife areas and 40 impounded wetlands
which support duck and goose populations, as well
as many nongame species, such as great blue
herons, bald eagles and osprey.
The forest helps support local economies and
communities through the sale of forest products,
including timber, evergreen boughs, firewood and
decorative greens. In 2009, the forest sold just over
71.5 million board feet of timber at a value of more
than $4.6 million. Approximately 73.9 million board
feet of timber valued at $5.9 million, was harvested
in 2009.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet is a mix of different
ecosystems. The Forest Service conducts activities to
help restore degraded natural communities and

uses timber harvest, prescribed fire and other prac-

tices to maintain some ecosystem types.
Recreation information about the forest can be
obtained by calling (715) 362-1300 or by calling or
stopping at the Eagle River-Florence District offices
at (715) 479-2827 and (715) 528-4464. The telephone
number for the hearing impaired is TTY 711

Internet site with information on numerous topics.

The 231,000-acre Northern Highland-American

Isle and Boulder Junction in Vilas County to its
southern boundary in the towns of Lake Tomahawk,
Newbold and Sugar Camp in Oneida County.

Sustainable Forest Management
State statutes provide that the forest be managed
for dynamic forest ecosystems to provide ecological,
economic and cultural benefits for present and
future generations. The current master plan pro-
vides guidance on all state forest management. All
state forests are certified by independent organiza-
tions to be managed sustainable.
Timber Management
Timber management operations work within the
confines of the sustainable management concept.
Timber harvest is big business on the forest. The
state forest produced 70,000 cords of pulpwood in
2009 and 1.8 million board feet of sawlogsand 1,027
tons of fuel wood. There were more than 80 active
sale contracts on the forest in 2009.
The 1.8 million board feet harvested could be con-
verted to about 180 single-family homes.
Taxpayers should note that more than $3.0 mil-
lion was grossed and turned into the state treasury.
Some economic studies show that some raw prod-
ucts’ income dollars multiply 20 times by the time
they get to the sale of a final product.
Approximately 351,000 trees were planted on 503
acres in 2009 on the forest. Other harvested areas
will be reforested with natural regeneration.
Tree regeneration, planting site preparation, for-
est inventory and mapping, tree cultural activities
and insect and disease work are also forestry work
programs on the forest.
Foresters strive to integrate all projects with the
expertise of wildlife biologists, endangered
resources ecologists, fish managers, forest ecologists,
soil scientists, water-quality experts and recreation
managers.
Recreation
Fishing and boating opportunities are available
on hundreds of lakes. Some of Wisconsin’s highest
lake concentrations are found here, harboring
muskie, walleye, northern pike, bass, trout and pan-
fish. Backpacking is permitted on more than 30
miles of marked trails. In winter, the forest provides
marked and unmarked cross-country ski trails, a
network of county and club snowmobile trails, and
winter camping.
There are 18 family campgrounds on the forest
and five of these have reservable campsites, with
boat landings provided within each campground.
There are two group campgrounds that can be
reserved in advance for groups numbering up to 50
people. There are about 70 canoe campsites located
along miles of lakes and rivers, and also some indi-
vidual wilderness campsites.
Beaches, picnic areas and waysides dot the forest
providing excellent swimming and picnicking facili-
ties. Tables, grills and toilets are available at these
sites. The Bearskin State Park Trail, running south
of Minocqua for 18 miles, provides a scenic tour for
bicycle enthusiasts.
Vilas County Forest
Overseeing the 41,047.91-acre forest is Forest
Administrator Lawrence L. Stevens, certified
forester, along with Assistant Forest Administrator
John P. Gagnon, certified forester. The Vilas County
Forestry, Recreation & Land Department headquar-

CONSERVATION

Resource Conservation
Conservation and resource protection is a key
issue for the residents of Vilas and Oneida counties
because the area harbors some of the most plentiful
and diversified natural resources found anywhere in
the United States.
Thousands of lakes, more than a million acres of
public forest, hundreds of miles of rivers and creeks,
game fish, small- and big-game animals, endan-
gered wildlife, uncontaminated groundwater and
clean air are just some of the resources that make
conservation so important here.
At the forefront of resource protection lies the
Department of Natural Resources, which is responsi-
ble for controlling the forces of pollution, poaching,
overdevelopment and wildlife habitat destruction, to
name just a few. They are charged with protecting
and enhancing Wisconsin’s air, land, water, wildlife,
fish and forests. Guiding them is the voice of the
average citizen, and the sportsmen, through the
Wisconsin Conservation Congress.
Next in line are local conservation organizations 479-8870.

VILAS COUNTY
Vilas County
History, Government
On April 12, 2003, Vilas County celebrated its 110th
birthday. It was named after William F. Vilas of
Madison, who came to Wisconsin from Vermont when
he was 11 and graduated from the University of
Wisconsin in 1858. Vilas attained the rank of lieu-
tenant colonel during the Civil War, was postmaster
general of the United States from 1885-’88, was secre-
tary of the interior from 1888-’91 and a U.S. senator
from 1891-’97.
Before Jan. 1, 1875, Vilas County was part of
Marathon County; from 1875 to 1885, part of Lincoln
County; from 1885 to 1893, part of Oneida County;
then was set off as Vilas County in 1893.
When Vilas was set off, it contained the two towns of
Eagle River and Minocqua, with Arbor Vitae being the
third added about 1899. Minocqua would later become
a part of Oneida County.
Fourteen towns and the city of Eagle River were
eventually carved from the dense pine forests of Vilas
County. The towns include Arbor Vitae, Boulder
Junction, Cloverland, Conover, Lac du Flambeau,
Land O’ Lakes, Lincoln, Manitowish Waters, Phelps,
Plum Lake, Presque Isle, St. Germain, Washington and
Winchester.
In 1899, the property valuations in the three towns
totaled $2.9 million. Today, the equalized property val-
uations in the 14 towns and one city that comprise
Vilas County total $7.6 billion.
The county is approximately 652,067 acres in size,
with 555,374 acres of land and 93,923 acres of water.
The county harbors 563 named lakes and 757
unnamed lakes. It is located in northern Wisconsin
against the Upper Michigan border.
The first county officials were appointed by the gov-
ernor. The county almost uniformly aligned with the
Republican Party, according to a book compiled by
George Jones and Norman McVean. Residents cast
their first vote for president in the 1896 campaign
between Republican William McKinley and Democrat
William J. Bryan.
The county population in 1890 was 1,706. The coun-
ty grew to 3,801 in 1895 and 4,929 in 1900. The popu-
lation was 5,649 in 1920. In 2007, Vilas’ population
was 22,545.
Though the fur trade led some whites to Vilas
County before the 1870s, the region did not reach the
attention of white settlers until the demand for lumber
arose around 1880. Large sawmills grew up at Arbor
Vitae, Winegar (Presque Isle), Eagle River, Conover,
Phelps and Winchester. The first railroads were con-
structed to haul out the lumber.
In 1878, the lumbermen of the Wisconsin Valley
erected and built a dam on the Wisconsin River at the
head of Otter Rapids. Shortly after, dams were built
between Long and Cranberry lakes and three on the
Deerskin River, for transportation of timber to market.
When the demand for pine lumber declined, much
land was then converted to farming and an auxiliary
summer resort industry arose. Farming has since
declined and second-growth forests now cover 85% of
the county.
The written word has always been a part of life here.
The Eagle River Vindicator was established in 1886,
the Eagle River Review in 1890 and the Vilas County
News in 1892. The Minocqua Times began publishing
in 1891. It was renamed to The Lakeland Times in
1939.
County Government
The county is governed by 21 supervisors represent-
ing 21 districts. The county board’s job is to oversee
county departments, establish policies and ordinances,
and assess a property tax levy in accordance with an
annual budget to run all operations. The 2010 county
budget was set at $27.7 million, of which the local
property tax will pay $12.67 million. Vilas County
property owners will pay a full-value tax rate of $1.63
per $1,000 of equalized valuation (at market value).
Vilas County has a 2% county sales tax that generat-
ed about $2 million in revenue last year. The board
meets the third Tuesday in January, March, April,
June, August and September. The annual budget
meeting is held the second Tuesday in November. The
courthouse is located at 330 Court St. in Eagle River.
The mailing address is Vilas County Courthouse, 330
Court St., Eagle River, WI 54521. Office hours are
Mondays through Fridays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

TOWNS
Arbor Vitae
Arbor Vitae is one of the older towns in Vilas
County, having been established in the 1890s shortly
after Vilas became a county in 1893.
Arbor Vitae started, as did the rest of the county, as
a logging center. At the height of the logging opera-
tions, the village of Arbor Vitae contained some 200
families with a total population of more than 1,200.
The timber was vanishing as early as 1908 and fam-
ilies began to leave the area, as it no longer afforded
the opportunity to earn a living.
Today, Arbor Vitae is the center of a flourishing
tourist industry which runs year-round.

Boulder Junction
Boulder Junction, once a part of Arbor Vitae, was
the center of an extensive logging operation from the
late 1800s. The first recorded town meeting was held
in 1928.
The village of Boulder Junction, much older than
the town, grew up at the site of a station on the rail-
road line, first called Boulder.
Known as the “Musky Capital of the World” since
1950, the town hosts the annual Musky Jamboree,
where thousands of residents and visitors are served
a free meal of muskie from fish donated by area
anglers and guides.
Today, tourism and the recreation industry as a
whole are the mainstays of the economy for most res-
idents of Boulder Junction.

Conover
Conover, close to excellent fishing lakes such as
North Twin, Stormy and Upper and Lower
Buckatabon lakes, was set aside from the town of
Eagle River Jan. 3, 1907. The old town of Conover
was just south of Highway K, along the railroad
tracks.
More land was added to the town in 1914, and
during 1920, Twin Lake property was taken into the
town of Conover from Phelps.
Conover once had some of the best white pine
stands in northern Wisconsin, and the town started
as a lumbering town before becoming a winter and
summer vacationland.
The town was named for Seth Conover, owner of
Lakota Resort.

set off from Eagle River Jan. 3, 1907. The first town
meeting was held April 1, 1907. Located on the
Wisconsin-Michigan border, Land O’ Lakes is home to
the Gateway Lodge, built in 1939 and known then as
the Gateway Hotel.
The schools were first built in the town of
Donaldson, about two miles west of Land O’Lakes,
where the dump is now located.
With the post office address still State Line, by 1930
most residents said they lived in “Land O’ Lakes,” and
the title stuck. State Line was officially changed to
Land O’ Lakes in 1948.

Manitowish Waters
Manitowish Waters is located on the western edge of
Vilas County, and is surrounded by lakes. Built along
a chain of lakes, Manitowish Waters is ideal for fisher-
men and water sports enthusiasts.
Originally belonging to the town of Flambeau, area
residents succeeded in having the state Legislature
pass a bill creating the new town of Spider Lake. The
name of the town was changed from Spider Lake to
Manitowish Waters in 1937.
Desperado John Dillinger brought the area instant
notoriety in 1934. Detected hiding out at Little
Bohemia, he fled lawmen in a shootout that resulted in
the deaths of two people.

Washington
Prior to 1893, the land area that now comprises the
town of Washington was a part of Oneida County and,
in May 1899, it was known as part of the newly creat-
ed town of Eagle River. On May 12, 1914, the town of
Washington was established. Five years later, more
changes were made when section 25 and some govern-
ment lots in sections 23, 24 and 26 were transferred
from the town of Lincoln to Washington.
The first chairman elected in the town was William
Saltenberg Sr. He served, with the exception of one
term, until his death July 16, 1923. He was succeeded
by George Mayo.

Winchester
Located just four miles from the Wisconsin-
Michigan border, Winchester offers great fishing, hunt-

back to 1902, when several individuals organized the
Turtle Lake Lumber Co.
Even before the lumber company started their settle-
ment, a vacation and fishing resort was being built on
a site that became known as Divide, at the narrows
between North and South Turtle lakes. This was in the
mid-1890s.
After the organization of the Turtle Lake Lumber
Co., Winchester became a great logging district. In
1905, the company built a sawmill and began lumber-
ing operations. When the company built a larger mill
in 1907, the post office was transferred from Divide to
Winchester, named after Walter Winchester.

ONEIDA COUNTY

Oneida County
History, Government
Oneida County was created from Lincoln County
in 1885 under Chapter 411 Laws. The original
boundaries comprised a large area of what is today
Oneida, Vilas and part of Iron counties. Vilas was set
off from Oneida in 1893.
Oneida County is said to have been named for the
New York Indian tribe of that name, a branch of the
Iroquois, who moved to Wisconsin early in the 19th
century. The name is said to signify “granite people.”
Rhinelander was made the county seat and the
first officers were appointed by Gov. Jeremiah M.
Rusk in 1886, according to a 1924 history book writ-
ten by George Jones. Officers were Chris Eby, treasur-
er; J.W. McCormich, judge; F.W. McIntyre, clerk of
court; W.L. Boers, county clerk; A. Sievwright, sheriff;
Ole Oleson, register of deeds; and Jacob Jewell, coro-
ner.
The first official meeting of the board of supervi-
sors was Jan. 3, 1887. On Jan. 11, the board selected
for temporary quarters rooms in the building on the
southwest corner of King and Stevens streets.
Proceedings of the board were to be printed in area
newspapers, including the New North, Oneida
Herald and Eagle River Vindicator.
In 1887, when Pelican and Eagle River were the
only two towns in the county, the total property value
was $152,248. Today, equalized property valuation
within the now much smaller Oneida County totals
$7.2 billion. The total property value in the town of
Three Lakes alone is more than $993 million.
The population of Oneida was 8,875 in 1900; in
1905 it was 11,234; in 1910 it was 11,433; and in
1920 it was 13,996. In 2007, Oneida’s population was
38,600.
The settlement and development of Oneida, and all
of northern Wisconsin in general, has been due pri-
marily to the lumber industry. It was the lumbermen
who cleared away the primeval forest which covered
nearly the whole vast territory and opened up a way
for the farmer.
The first logging that was done north of the
Tomahawk River was in the winter of 1857-’58 at
Rhinelander. In the fall of 1857, Helms & Co. cut out
the “tote road” from Grandfather Bull’s Falls to Eagle
Lake on the Eagle River in what is now Vilas County.
After billions of board feet of lumber were removed,
the farmers moved into Oneida soon after. More than
one-half of the soil in the county, or about 500,000
acres, is tillable land that is adaptable to agriculture.
The earliest settler in the immediate vicinity of
Rhinelander was John C. Curren, who arrived on the
spot as early as 1855 and lived for many years just
south of the Pelican River where it flows into the
Wisconsin. He was engaged in buying furs from the
Indians and, to a smaller extent, in logging.
Besides the city of Rhinelander, 20 towns were
carved from the county. These are Cassian, Crescent,
Enterprise, Hazelhurst, Lake Tomahawk, Little Rice,
Lynne, Minocqua, Monico, Newbold, Nokomis,
Pelican, Piehl, Pine Lake, Schoepke, Stella, Sugar
Camp, Three Lakes, Woodboro and Woodruff.
County Government
The county is governed by 21 supervisors repre-
senting 21 districts. The county board’s job is to over-
see county departments, establish policies and ordi-
nances, and assess a property tax levy in accordance
with an annual budget to run all operations. The
2010 budget was set at $48.7 million in total expens-
es, though the local property tax levy pays for $15.08
million of that amount. Oneida County property
owners will pay a full-value tax rate of $1.99 per
$1,000 of equalized valuation (at market value). The
Board of Supervisors meets the third Tuesday in
January, February, March, April, May, June, August,
September and October. The annual budget meeting
is held the first Tuesday following the second
Monday in November. The courthouse is located at 1
S. Oneida Ave. in Rhinelander, P.O. Box 400,
Rhinelander, WI 54501. Courthouse office hours are
Mondays through Fridays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Cassian
The earliest record found of Cassian, which was
originally a part of Woodboro, is the record of an
ordinance passed by the county board Feb. 12, 1903.
The ordinance detached property from the town of
Woodboro and created the town of Cassian from
Townships 36 and 37, Range 6 East, and Township
37 North, Range 7 East.
The first town meeting held to transact business
was held at the Cassian School April 7, 1903, with
Ira E. Smith chairing the meeting.
Settlers were lured from great distances by glow-
ing accounts published in newspapers of large cities,
telling of great opportunities to get started with very
little investment in an ideal farming region.
About the end of World War II, discontent devel-
oped within the township. Steps were taken in 1948
to separate the “lower” township and form a new
township — Nokomis.
The Cassian-Woodboro School was constructed in
1944-’45 and the Fernwood School then became town
property and was used as the Cassian Town Hall. In
1971, a new town hall was built, and in 1986, an
addition was built on the firehouse.

and a few homes remain in the immediate village,
but at one time a school, church, general store, post
office, saloon and sawmill, as well as several homes,
were all located within the few blocks of the village
itself.
The first residents of Enterprise were Indians —
both Chippewa and Potawatomi. The first white man
to settle in what is now Enterprise was George Keeler
— in 1884.
The building of a railroad through Enterprise to
open up the timber lands for logging helped bring in
more settlers. Around 1898, Enterprise was known as
Robert’s Siding.
The township of Enterprise was created by legisla-
tive act by separation from Schoepke March 29,
1905. In 1906, Schoepke re-annexed it, however
Enterprise was re-established as a separate town-
ship March 23, 1907.

Hazelhurst
Hazelhurst had its origin in 1882, when C.C.
Yawkey and a timber cruiser arrived in the area and Lake Tomahawk
purchased large tracts of land. The village was Tomahawk Lake became a township in 1914, with
begun in 1887 with the construction of Yawkey-Leigh Charles Gahler as its first town chairman. Its name
Lumber Co. was changed to Lake Tomahawk in the early 1930s.
Hazelhurst was named by Mrs. Yawkey upon her Gasoline and kerosene lamps and gasoline gener-

Little Rice
On Nov. 10, 1909, the town of Little Rice was
formed of territory detached from the town of Lynne,
mainly, Townships 36 and 37 of Range 5 East except-
ing Sections 31 and 32 of Township 36. On March
22-24, 1910, that part of Township 37 of Range 7

Lynne
The town of Lynne is composed of Township 36
North, Range 4 East and Township 37 North, Range
4 East, reaching from Highway 8 in Tripoli to
Township 38 in Minocqua.
The first logging camp was operated in 1866 by
Israel Stone, who was one-quarter Indian. The settle-
ment, however, was due largely to H.H. Stolle, who
purchased acreage in 1899 and moved his family to
the area in 1900. The Soo Line Railroad also played
an important part in the settlement, bringing in the
settlers as well as hauling out the lumber the mills
produced.
Finnish emigrants who arrived in Minneapolis
came to work in the sawmill and the woods. A large
Finnish settlement was established, and many
Finnish settlers remained after the mills were closed.

Minocqua
Located on the northern edge of Oneida County,
the town of Minocqua was formally established
March 13, 1889. The population was concentrated on
an island-like piece of land formed by lakes
Kawaguesaga and Minocqua.
Logging camps, and later lumber mills, provided
employment for the newcomers who arrived in
Minocqua via the railroad, beginning in 1887.
Although the camps and mills were in Minocqua
itself, the town thrived because of its transportation
link and its proximity to the lumbering activity.
The cutting and sawing of logs continued into the
20th century, but the lumber boom was over by 1910,
as the supply of timber rapidly dwindled. Some res-
idents turned to small-scale farming on the cutover
lands, while others entered the rapidly expanding
resort industry.
As the resorts prospered, Minocqua became known
as a tourist center.
The name Minocqua is said to be derived from the
name of the Chippewa Indian Chief Noc Wib or
Minocquip, who lived on the island with his follow-
ers. According to early settlers, the word means “mid-
journey,” “noon-day rest,” “stop and drink,” “a pleas-
ant place to be.”

Monico
Monico was named by B.F. Dorr, an early survey-
or, who gave no special reason for the name. Some
residents believe the name is of Indian origin.
In 1882, there was nothing at Monico but a few
railway shanties. By 1883, Wisconsin Sulphite Fibre
Co. bought practically the whole town site and built
a factory. Emil’s Mill was located there in later years.
In the fall of 1884, the company built a new larg-
er factory, with the intention of building a paper
mill. Within a year or so, the pulp mill burned down.
The company gave up their plans, sold out and left.
The site was bought by Ed Squire of Rhinelander,
who sold it in lots to various people. Logging was
carried on in 1885 by Green & Sons and by Clarke,
Lennan & Stableton. There were also several
portable sawmills.
In 1882, the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western
Railroad line was completed as far as Monico. A spur
line was run 15 miles to Rhinelander and the main
line continued north to Watersmeet, Mich. During the
height of the railroad boom, Monico Junction had 24
trains in and out per day — 16 freight and eight pas-
senger. Passenger service ended in 1971 and the
freight train in 1984. Railroad tracks were removed
and the depot was moved to Rhinelander.

Newbold
On Nov. 18, 1898, the Oneida County Board acted
to form the town of Newbold, named after the man
operating the Newbold Land and Lumber Co. locat-
ed on the Northwestern Railroad, a few miles south
of the McNaughton Station. It was then known as
PAGE 87 - ’10 GUIDE
Newbold Siding.
In 1935, the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co.
erected a dam on the Wisconsin River, forming the
Rainbow Flowage, covering 4,485 acres. The whole
system is used to control the flow of the river.
The first meeting and election in Newbold was
held April 4, 1899, at McNaughton School.
During the prohibition era, the McNaughton area
had the dubious distinction of being the “moonshine
capital” of these parts.

Nokomis
Nokomis history is part of the township of
Cassian history. The township of Cassian was creat-
ed from the township of Woodboro Feb. 12, 1903.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad was
built through what is known now as Nokomis in
1888. A spur was branched off the main line at a
place named Cassanova — later changed to Cassian,
About 1906 the Wausau Land Co. moved a

sawmill to Cassian and operated it for several years,

giving employment to many local people. By 1912,
most of the timber in this area was logged off, so the
mill was moved to Malvern. After it was moved,
nothing much was left at Cassian but the general
store and two or three families.
In about 1912, the Wisconsin Valley Improvement
Co. built a dam at Bradley on the Tomahawk River
to furnish power for the mills further south, thereby
creating Lake Nokomis. The creation of the lake
brought people who built homes, cottages, resorts and
other businesses.

Pelican
The town of Pelican was probably named for the
white pelicans which fed along the Wisconsin River
and on big Pelican Lake.
The chief early occupations in Pelican were farm-
ing and logging. The last log drive down the Pelican
River took place in 1927.
The first school in Pelican was built in 1883, with
many others to follow in the late 1800s and early
1900s. Nicolet Area Technical College was built on
property bordered by Lake Julia.

Piehl
The town of Piehl was organized in 1908 as part of
Oneida County. In the minds of many people, the vil-
lage of Gagen and the town of Piehl are synonymous.
A sawmill was first built at Gagen in the late
1800s, due to the fact that the town was the junction
of two important railroads — the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore and Western (later known as the Chicago and
North Western) and the Minneapolis, Sault Ste.
Marie and Atlantic.
The town was named for Dan Gagen (1834-1908),
who came from England and became a pioneer trad-
er and woodsman. The Piehl Town Hall was built in
1922 and is still in use.

Pine Lake
Pine Lake was organized in 1903 out of a portion
of the town of Pelican. Newbold ceded its western
part to Pine Lake in 1907. Sections 4 and 9 were
ceded back to Newbold in 1916.
In its early days, Pine Lake was known for family
farms, sawmills and logging. It is known today for
its vast waterfront property, fishing, hunting and
boating.
The Hodag 50 Park, located on north River Road,
is popular for snowmobile and other off-road racing

County sometime between March 3, 1896, and May
4, 1897. It had been the town of Pelican Lake, which
was created April 3, 1883, from the township of
Neva, Langlade County.
The town was named for August F. Schoepke, who
was the first agent for the Milwaukee, Lake Shore &
Western Railway. The village of Pelican Lake was
started when the railroad (later known as the
Chicago and North Western) was built through this
region in 1882.
The railroad pulled up its tracks a few years ago
and the state Highway Department bought most of
the right-of-way for future highway expansion.
Farming and logging were done in the early years,
and several farms in the Jennings area are still
being operated by members of the original families.

Stella
Stella, a 99-square-mile area with Starks as its
main population center, was widely known in the
early years for its tremendous potato growing. Today,
seed potatoes from the farms in Stella Township are
shipped all over the United States.
Starks was originally called Pennington, for E.
Pennington, then superintendent of the new railroad.
The name was changed in the early 1900s in honor
of Commander Hobson, famous hero of the Spanish-
American War. In the mid-1900s, Leonard Starks
bought 10,000 acres of land around what was then
Hobson. He rebuilt the town and gave it his name.
Starks, known as the “Potato King,” owned as many
as 18,500 acres of land. Due largely to Starks’ early
success, Wisconsin has become nationally known in
the field of seed potatoes.

Sugar Camp
The first permanent white settlers from Poland
moved to the Sugar Camp area April 11, 1895. Each
family bought 80 acres of land and made their living
by logging. At that time, the area was known as
Robbins, named for Frank Robbins, a pioneer lum-
berman.
Sugar Camp became a separate township in 1899;
prior to then it was part of Pelican. Its name was
derived from the fact that many people came to the
area to buy maple sugar and syrup from the Indians.
Many descendants from original settlers still live
in the area, such as the Stefoneks, Walkowskis,
Kundas, Piaseckis, Nowaks, Pitliks, Sowinskis and
Kasmareks.
The present town hall was built in 1962 and the
old St. Kunegunda Catholic Church was taken down
in 1975, with the new building and rectory construct-
ed adjacent to the old site.

Three Lakes
The first white settler who came into the Three
Lakes area was Dan Gagen, known as the “King of
the North.” He worked up a thriving business, trad-
ing merchandise to the Indians for raw furs. By
1880, the government had made its first land grants
in the area and, in 1884, the small village that
sprang up around the trading post and the township
became known as Gagen.
The village changed its name to Three Lakes May
27, 1909. The name was the result of two railroad

surveyors seeking to run a line. Three attempts found
three lakes — the three lakes being Maple, Townline
and Rangeline. Due to the dense forests and finding
no more lakes, the men assumed there were only
three lakes and the name was chosen for the village.
The coming of the Chicago and North Western
Railroad in 1881 ushered in the exploitation of the
land, marked by three eras: the logging of the pine,
the plowing of the land and the developing of the
tourist cabin. The farming era included activities
ranging from potato growing to cheese factories to
moonshine stills.
Prohibition ended in 1934 and thus, the end of the
homestead-type farm operations. Government subsi-
dies spawned commercial potato growing operations
and the area became known for its choice seed pota-
toes.
In the Depression years of the 1930s, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt sent the Civilian Conservation
Corps, his “tree army.” Twenty-two camps of 200 men
each were established on the Nicolet National Forest
lands alone, six of them within 10 miles of Three
Lakes. Today, the millions of trees planted by these
men are being harvested on a selected basis.
In 1946, Vernon Goldsworthy and Ralph
Sampson opened up the Thunder Lake Marsh west of
the village for commercial cranberry development.
The famous Chain of 28 Lakes, with more than
100 miles of shoreline and 7,000 water acres, is locat-

Woodboro
The township of Woodboro was created by the
county board of supervisors from the town of Pelican
March 21, 1893. The one village in the township car-
rying the same name was started in 1890 by George
E. Wood of Chicago, operator of the George E. Wood
Lumber Co.
Wood built a sawmill in the early 1890s and as a
lumbering community, Woodboro prospered for
about 14 years. While the mill operated, it cut about
PAGE 91 - ’10 GUIDE
200 million feet of pine lumber and built and operat-
ed its own log railroad of standard gauge. The
Washburn Lake Road was once part of this railroad.
In 1904, the company lost its planing mill and
several hundred thousand feet of lumber to fire. After
the fire, about 7,000 acres were sold to a Chicago real
estate firm that platted lake frontage and sold farms.

Woodruff
A medley of settlers from Canada, Scandinavia,
Scotland and Ireland established the town of
Woodruff in 1888. A majority of the first settlers were
loggers. Others recognized the potential of the area
and established resorts on lakes in the area.
Fish preservation received early attention, and the
State Fish Hatchery was started in Woodruff in
1901.
The first town board meeting was held in
Woodruff July 5, 1905. It is believed that the town of
Woodruff was named for George Woodruff, owner of
the Woodruff-Macguire Lumber Co. He often had
freight labeled, “Ship to Woodruff at Muskonegan
Creek, North Western Terminal.” Thus his name
became associated with the site.

FOREST COUNTY
The town of Hiles is the headwaters for two of
Wisconsin’s premier rivers, the Wolf and the Pine. It all
started in 1860 when a woodsman named Dan Gagen
built a trading post and inn on the banks of Pine Lake
alongside the old Military Road. The road ran as far
north as Lake Superior, serving as a mail route and
was used to carry supplies through the woods for trap-
pers and traders. J.B. Thompson of Wausau bought the
trading post in 1863 and sold it to H.B. Fessenden of
Argonne in 1895. In 1902, Franklin P. Hiles of
Milwaukee purchased not only the trading post but
also the site that would soon become the town of Hiles.
Organized in 1903, Hiles had a sawmill, general store,
hotel and a railroad branch from the main line of the
Chicago Northwestern.
