Wood County, located in the great state of Wisconsin, was established on March 13, 1856, with an area of 796 square miles. Wood County was named in honor of Joseph Wood, a prominent Wisconsin attorney, and was initially carved from portions of Portage and Marathon counties. Two major rivers, the Wisconsin and Yellow, pass through the county, providing valuable water resources for both industry and recreation.

The county seat is in the city of Wisconsin Rapids, which was founded as Centralia in 1849, during the peak of the lumber industry in the region. The city later merged with the adjacent town of Grand Rapids in 1900, forming the city of Grand Rapids. The name was officially changed to Wisconsin Rapids in 1920 to avoid confusion with the city of Grand Rapids in the neighboring state of Michigan.

Throughout its history, Wood County has been home to various industries, such as lumber, paper, and cranberry farming. Among these, cranberry farming is a significant source of agricultural revenue, with Wood County being one of the major contributors to Wisconsin's position as the leading producer of cranberries in the United States.

A fun fact about Wood County is that it is home to the Rudolph Grotto Gardens, a beautiful and unique roadside attraction that spans over 7.5 acres.

Wagner in 1927, who aimed to express his gratitude after his prayers for recovery from illness were answered. Over the years, the Grotto Gardens has seen thousands of visitors seeking solace, peace, and spiritual rejuvenation..

Another fun fact about Wood County is that it is home to the "world's largest round barn". The historic structure, located in the town of Marshfield, measures 80 feet in diameter and was built in 1916. It was originally used as a dairy barn, but today it serves as an event venue and tourist attraction. The round barn is a unique and impressive example of Wisconsin's agricultural heritage.
