Merrill
Jenny or Jenny Bull Falls, as the city was fondly referred to before the railroad roared into town, was born on the backs of speculators, lumbermen, and businessmen in the mid-1840s. Pursuing wide-eyed dreams in the vast pine forests of the north woods, Jenny's population was around 200 in 1870. The worn trails of the Ojibwe/Chippewa, the area's first occupants, were transformed into logging roads, and by the time the city's name was formally changed to Merrill in 1881, the population had grown to 2,000. Nicknamed the "City of Parks" in 1903, Merrill is situated on the convergence of the Wisconsin and Prairie Rivers and features four seasons of natural beauty within the city limits. The wonder of Merrill lies in a century of traditions and in the heritage and beauty of its numerous historic buildings and places.
Boom Town
A little more than 125 years ago, a hardy group of businessmen and ordinary folks carved out a city among the pines of northern Wisconsin where the Somo, Tomahawk and Wisconsin Rivers converge. Founded on the vision of one man, William H. Bradley, a millionaire lumberman from Maine, the city of Tomahawk literally 'sprang up over night.' Through Bradley's foresight, Tomahawk boasts unusually wide streets, beautifully parked areas and boulevards, and a wide open welcoming business thoroughfare. Today, businesses are still flourishing, pines are still standing, and the population of the city has increased three fold. Boomtown, is a historical account of the early years of Tomahawk, including biographical information on pioneers, prominent citizens and ordinary folks.

Bradley Park
Anyone familiar with Tomahawk, knows that Bradley Park, or the Hogs Back, as some choose to lovingly reference it, needs no formal introduction. The park trails, the pines and the water are woven into the lives of those who live in the area, those who visit for the first time, and those who return time and time again. A visitor to the park in August 1927 wrote this: "So it has come about that we come again and again from year to year, each time to appreciate the place more, and able to spread good news of Tomahawk further and further. I return to the matter of character again. This is the finest and most appealing thing in anything or person; and we hope that Tomahawk will continue to have this inner something that mere words cannot display." Take a stroll through the park history - the pines are calling.
