History

A post office called Saxon has been in operation since 1887. The community was named after the Saxons, the ancient German people. Joseph J. Defer (1866-1929) served as postmaster of Saxon from 1904 to 1914 and as sheriff of Iron County. He owned a general store and sawmill. Defer served in the Wisconsin Assembly in 1919 and 1920.
