General Info
Dunn County’s prairies, forests, marshes, and rock formations have delighted onlookers for centuries. Native Americans, most recently the Santee Dakota and Ojibwe people, have lived in Dunn County for over ten thousand years, and Europeans arrived to the county in the late eighteenth century, attracted by a bountiful river and rich prospects for trading fur. From 1871 to 1896, Dunn County’s Knapp, Stout and Company was the world’s largest lumber company, producing about eighty-five million board feet of lumber per year. Today, trade, transportation, and utilities are Dunn County’s main industries. The county is named after Charles Dunn, appointed by President Andrew Jackson as the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Wisconsin Territory. The county seat’s name, Menomonie, means “people of the rice” in Algonquin and was officially incorporated in 1882. Today Dunn County is home to approximately 46,199 residents.
