The first city to greet you as you travel north on I-39 was originally known as Little Bull Falls. The local postmaster felt that the name was too vulgar for women to write on their letters so in 1857 the settlement was renamed 'Mosinee' in honor of Chief Mosinee of the Chippewa Indians.

Access to the railroad system and the growth of the logging industry were important influences on Mosinee. The major industry in the 1800s, lumber continues to play a significant role in the local economy in the form of Wausau/Mosinee Paper.

In addition to being home to the Central Wisconsin Airport and the Central Wisconsin Business Park, the City of Mosinee www.mosinee.wi.us is committed to redeveloping its downtown. Stroll the brick sidewalks of Main Street to find restaurants and specialty stores. The Wisconsin River runs through the city and offers a wide array of recreational opportunities including fishing, boating, and canoeing.
