History

The unincorporated community of Wabeno was built in an area where timber had been cleared by a tornado in June 1880. Wabeno was platted in 1897. The town’s name is derived from “waubeno” a Potawatomi word for “coming of the winds”. A brief lumber boom occurred when the Chicago and North Western Railway pushed a line through the tiny town. In 1905, there were five sawmills in operation in Wabeno, producing 35,000,000 board feet (80,000 m) of lumber per year. The last mill closed in 1936.
