| Village of Coleman & Area The Coleman area was originally inhabited by the Algonquin Indians, a part of the Menominee Indian branch. The tribe was best known for their trading center, located on the river between the present day cities of Marinette and Menominee. From 1870 until the turn of the century, four distinct settlements of Scandinavians, French, German and Polish settlers made up the village. Many of these people migrated to the area after the famous Peshtigo Fire of 1871. From these modest beginnings more than 100 years ago the area has grown to be an important part in every aspect of Marinette County, and this quaint community represents the epitome of small town life... quiet, stable, endearingly serene.

| Village of Wausaukee & Area Tourism and Outdoor Sports In the spring of 1883, John S. Monroe bought 160 acres of land to build a mill and supply the railroads with lumber for bridges and culverts. The lumber mills first attracted the people, but as the mills left, farmers came and changed the local economy to an agrarian one. Only recently is farming being replaced by small industries and tourism. The Village and town of Wausaukee have evolved into a community with over eighty businesses that provide diverse services, manufacturing and final assembly jobs. Tourism and outdoor sports related activities are a very large part of the local economy because of the proximity to state and county natural resources. Campgrounds, motels, resorts, vacation homes and acreage offer the non-resident an opportunity to enjoy our lovely area. The village and town boast over 1,500 residents year round with an increase in population for our many distinctive seasons and recreational opportunities. More Information: Village of Wausaukee |
