"The Gateway
to Wisconsin's Northwoods"
Founded in 1878
by Civil War veterans Francis Deleglise and George Eckart, Antigo was
known to local native Americans as "wild woods", a term still
applicable today given the area's bountiful wild areas. Though the pristine
wilderness remains, Antigo embarks on the 21st century replete with
resources that situate it on the cutting edge of technology, manufacturing
and growth.
 Vast
expanses of timber spawned the region's first major industry for German,
Czech, Polish, and Scandinavian immigrants. Oxen needed to transport
logs helped generate a second industry, farming, that became a staple
of the area and drew upon surrounding soils rich in silt loam, Wisconsin's
state soil. (more)
