Descrição

This collection of views of Antigo, the county seat of Langlade County, shows businesses, homes, schools, and street scenes of downtown Antigo throughout the 20th century. Antigo’s first home was built in 1878. It was incorporated as a city and made the county seat of New County (later renamed Langlade County) in the 1880s. The city was originally named Springbrook but was renamed Antigo using the middle word of an Ojibwe phrase Nequi-Antigo-Seebeh, which means “Where the river flows past evergreens.” The collection also contains some scenes of towns and villages of Langlade County as well as resorts and towns in other regions of northern Wisconsin.
