History

Mercer is a small town located in Iron County, Wisconsin, in the northwestern part of the state. The town was named after Dr. William Mercer, a prominent physician and businessman who helped to establish the community in the late 19th century.

The first European settlers in the area arrived in the mid-19th century, attracted by the rich deposits of iron ore and the abundant forests that surrounded the town. The area quickly became a hub of mining and logging activity, and by the late 1800s, several small communities had sprung up in the area that would eventually become Mercer.
