The history of Wood County highlights its geographical features, including glaciated terrain and fertile soils, which contributed to its development. The area was home to various Indian tribes, such as the Huron and Ottawa, who sought refuge during conflicts, leading to an increase in population. Notable historical figures, including "Pretty Hair," a 99-year-old Winnebago-Menominee woman, and Chief Carimon, played significant roles in the region's cultural narrative, while land filings in the 1850s marked the beginning of settlement and development in the county.
