History

Before European settlers migrated west of the Mississippi River, the land belonged to the Ojibwe Tribe, also known as the Chippewa, with evidence of their presence in the area dating back to 8,000 years ago. French fur traders and Jesuit missionaries first entered the area in the 1800s, and the Ojibwe allied themselves economically and politically with the French people and eventually to the United States.

After the fur trade began to decline in the area due to the increased population of European-Americans in the area, flour and saw mill became the main sources of employment and income for the area.

Today, the community relies on tourism for jobs and sources of income. In buying your lake home in this area, you are supporting the local economy with the time and money you spend on the community.

Other than the amazing lakes in the area and the vast network of hiking, biking, snowmobiling, and ATV trails, the Northwoods area offers wonderful community events and festivals, like the 4th of July celebration in Danbury, which attracts over 2,500 tourists every year.
