History
Originally established in 1888 as a logging town, Minocqua's hertitage is rooted in the Ojibwe tribe which is still honored today through museums, traditional pow-wows and crafting classes. In the early 1900s, as the logging industry declined, the Minocqua area with its pristine fishing and recreation opportunities became a popular destination for vacation resorts.
