Marathon County, located in the great state of Wisconsin, was established in 1850 and has a rich historical background. It is named after the famous Battle of Marathon, as pioneers in the mid-19th century believed the region's land was suitable for growing Marathon wheat, which the settlers had brought with them from Europe.

The county's first permanent settlers arrived around 1839, and they were mainly involved in fur trade, lumbering, and farming. The town of Wausau, the county seat, was founded in 1852 and quickly became an important center for lumber and sawmills due to its position along the Wisconsin River. The opening of the Wisconsin Central Railway in 1874 further spurred the county's growth, as it provided better access to markets for lumber and agricultural products.

Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Marathon County saw an influx of immigrants from Poland, Germany, and Scandinavia, which significantly shaped the region's culture and industry. For instance, the development of the paper and food processing industries in the area can be traced back to the skills and knowledge these immigrants brought with them.

One fun fact about Marathon County is that it is the largest county in Wisconsin in terms of land area, encompassing approximately 1,576 square miles. The county is also known for its over 700 miles of snowmobile trails, attracting snowmobiling enthusiasts from all over the country during the winter months.
