Forest
County Seat – Crandon
Current Year Built – 1912
The settlement rush to Forest County
didn’t come until the dawn of the twentieth century. In the
1890s, Crandon’s population was 250. A decade later, the
population had grown to 2,000. Forest County was created
from parts of Oconto and Langlade counties. Crandon was
incorporated in 1908. A new courthouse, along with the jail
and sheriff’s residence, were completed in 1912 at a cost of
$55,000.
