History
Three Lakes is a town located in Oneida County, Wisconsin, United States. The area is known for its natural beauty, particularly its abundance of lakes. Here's a brief overview of the history of Three Lakes:
- Early Settlement: The region where Three Lakes is located was inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Menominee, for centuries before European settlement. The area was part of the vast Northwoods wilderness.
- Logging Era: In the late 19th century, the logging industry boomed in the region, and Three Lakes became a significant center for timber production. Logging camps were established, and the lakes provided a convenient means of transporting logs. The abundance of white pine attracted many settlers and loggers to the area.
- Railroads and Development: The arrival of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway in 1889 further spurred development in Three Lakes. The railroad brought an influx of tourists and facilitated the transportation of goods. Resorts, hotels, and businesses started to flourish.
