History

At an early date, the place was called Menominee River Junction because here was the junction between the main line and the Menominee River Branch. The origin of the name Powers is uncertain. Several sources claim the village was named after Edward Powers, a civil engineer involved in building the railroad there. Edward Powers afterwards became notorious as a professed “rain maker.” Another source claims the village was founded in 1872 and named after Tom Powers, an engineer for the Chicago & North Western Railroad.
