History
La Crosse is derived from the French meaning “the crossing”, and it was so named from its location at the junction or crossing of five railroads. The five railroads were:
- Monon Railroad
- Chicago and Indiana Coal Railway (later the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the Chicago, Attica and Southern)
- Chicago and West Michigan Railway (later the Pere Marquette)
- Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad (later the Pennsylvania Railroad)
- Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville Railroad (later the C&O)
Since 2004, La Crosse has been the headquarters of the Chesapeake and Indiana Railroad, which owns portions of former C&O and Pere Marquette trackage.
The La Crosse post office opened in 1921.
