Rhinelander, County seat in northern Wisconsin, United States.
The Wisconsin River and Pelican River converge at Rhinelander, creating a natural crossroads for transportation and commerce in northern Wisconsin.
The settlement, initially named Pelican Rapids, transformed into Rhinelander in 1882 when the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway reached the area.
The Hodag creature, depicted as a horned beast with spikes along its back, represents the local folklore and appears on city signage.
Winter temperatures in Rhinelander frequently drop below freezing from November through April, requiring residents to maintain proper heating systems.
The Pioneer Park Historical Complex contains multiple buildings from the 1870s, displaying tools and equipment from the early lumber industry.
