Black River Falls, County seat in Jackson County, Wisconsin

Black River Falls is a small city in Jackson County, Wisconsin, centered around the Black River. The town layout follows streets that run along the river, connecting the community with its natural setting.

The town originated in the mid-1800s as a lumber industry center where sawmills relied on the Black River's water power. This period of industrial growth shaped the community's early development.

The town takes its name from the Black River, whose waters have shaped community life for generations. Visitors can see how local people continue to interact with this river in their daily routines today.

The city sits at the intersection of several major roads and is easily accessible from different directions. Visitors should consider the proximity to larger towns and road connections when planning their arrival.

A large reservoir formed above a hydroelectric dam has covered the original waterfalls that inspired the town's name. This transformation reveals how infrastructure development reshaped the area's natural landscape.
