Forest
County Seat – Crandon
Current Courthouse Year Built – 1912
Forest County was created from parts of
Oconto and Langlade counties. But it wasn’t until 1901 that
the railroad’s arrival brought a large number of immigrants
from the hills of Kentucky hoping to find work in the lumber
mills. Crandon was incorporated in 1908. Before 1909, a
two-story frame building served as Forest County’s justice
center. A new courthouse, featuring a clock tower, along
with the jail and sheriff’s residence were completed in 1912
at a cost of $55,000.
