It was the Wisconsin River that first drew settlers to this area originally known as “Big Bull Falls” around 1837.
Marathon County, which is the largest county in Wisconsin, was organized in 1850 at about the same time, Big Bull Falls began to be called Wausau. Translations of Wausau ranged from meaning “far away place” to “noise like thunder.”, the latter getting its meaning from the water rushing over the falls in the Wisconsin River.
Wausau has an array of cultural landmarks which include The Grand Theater and The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. These cultural institutions have paved a strong commitment to arts in Central Wisconsin.
This area is also home to Granite Peak Ski Area on Rib Mountain which is the highest skiable peak in the State and one of the oldest in the nation.
