Wisconsin Rapids, County seat and administrative center in Wood County, Wisconsin
Wisconsin Rapids stands along the Wisconsin River, featuring numerous parks, recreational areas, and a modern aquatic center that opened in 2020.
The city emerged in the 1830s when settlers built sawmills near the rapids of the Wisconsin River, using water power for lumber production.
The McMillan Memorial Library serves as an educational hub, offering programs, resources, and community activities to residents throughout Wood County.
The South Wood County Airport and local transit services connect Wisconsin Rapids to surrounding areas, making transportation accessible for residents and visitors.
The Menominee people named this location 'Ah-dah-wah-gam,' meaning Two-sided Rapids, due to a large rock formation splitting the water flow.
