page 5 he Milwaukee Road railroad tracks first Treached the area in 1903, A Brief History but it was December 1905 before the name “Boulder Junction” first appeared in the Chicago/ Milwaukee & St. Paul railway timetable. Immediately, hunters and anglers began visiting the area and camping on several nearby lakes. Prior to the 1903 arrival of the railroad, getting to the area involved renting a team of horses in Woodruff, followed by an arduous, all-day wagon ride. A far cry from today’s 20-mile drive up Hwy. 51 and Cty. M! The first downtown structure was Paquette’s Hotel & Saloon, built in 1911. Tourism and logging grew side-by-side, sharing the life-line that the railroad provided. Among the first resorts to be opened were Coon’s on Trout Lake; Camp McKinley on Wolf Lake (now part last train pulled out of Boulder Junction in 1932. of the private Dairyman’s Country Club); and Boulder Junction was officially incorporated Rabbit’s Foot Resort on Boulder Lake (now as a town in March 1927, when it separated Camp Manito-wish YMCA). from Arbor Vitae. In those days, the town hall performed multiple functions – it was a school midweek, a dance hall on Saturday nights and a church on Sunday. In 1933 the state of Wisconsin began a vigorous re-afforestation program, through the formation of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Thanks to the CCC’s establishment of seedling production, planting greatly intensified. The forests would soon return, in stark contrast to the 1910 landscape which was nearly denuded of trees by the logging operations conducted between the 1890s and 1910. As the forest grew, so too, would tourism. Among the first structures built by the railroad were a small depot, a coal shed, and a house for the section foreman and his family. Today’s wide Main Street is a result of the rail buildings, lines, spurs and sidings. Phone service came to Boulder Junction in 1925 and electricity came to the town in 1930. Unfortunately, the previous busy railroad operation slowed considerably in 1931, and the
page 6 ack in the 1930s, a Chicago- based sportswriter who Bregularly vacationed in the Boulder Junction area, coined the phrase, “Musky Capital of the World” to describe his favorite fishing destination. Local resorts picked up on the idea and over the course of the next 11 or 12 years, used the term intermittently on their promotional literature. In 1942, the newly-formed Chamber of Commerce began using the title on all of its brochures and other printed matter and it has done so ever since. June 8, 1971, the United States Patent Office awarded Boulder Junction the U.S. Trademark for the MUSKY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. This trademark was awarded by virtue of the fact that more muskies are caught on our lakes every year than any other similar sized area in the world.
ry Histo WhereWhy the name Boulder “Boulder Junction” Junction? came from… The first time Boulder Junction is recorded as the name for this place was in a railroad schedule from before 1910. Boulder Junction was just a part of Arbor Vitae until it was incorporated and officially named in 1927. Postmaster Samuel Williams proposed that the town incorporate under the name it had been given two decades earlier when the Brooks and Ross Lumber Company laid a logging railway across that of the Yawkey Bissell Logging Company at a site not far from Boulder Lake.
