In 1882, J. J. Kennedy hauled sawmill machinery with [[ox]]en from the railroad at [[Chelsea (CDP), Wisconsin|Chelsea]] to the bank of Rib Lake and built a sawmill called the Rib Lake Lumber Company.

The original mill burned in about a year, (and possibly burned again in 1898) and was destroyed by another fire on July 23, 1914.<ref name="Centennial 1981">{{cite book |last=Centennial

Rib Lake is a village in Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States located at the junction of Wisconsin Highway 102 and Taylor County Highway D. The population was 910 at the 2010 census. The village is completely surrounded by the Town of Rib Lake.

History

[edit]

In 1881, J. J. Kennedy hauled sawmill machinery with oxen from the railroad at Chelsea to the bank of Rib Lake and built a sawmill called the Rib Lake Lumber Company. The next year a railroad spur was built to the mill from the Wisconsin Central Railway at Chelsea. The community was originally called Kennedy Mills. The original mill burned in about a year, (and possibly burned again in 1898) and was destroyed by another fire on July 23, 1914.[5]: 5–7 

In 1891, Fayette Shaw started a tannery in Rib Lake, which used tannic acid from locally harvested hemlock bark to tan hides from as far away as South America to make leather. The tannery operated until 1923.

The 1890s saw much growth, with the beginning of Methodist, Catholic and Lutheran congregations. In 1897 the Rib Lake Herald newspaper began publishing and a Dr. Werner started a practice.

The village of Rib Lake was incorporated in 1902.[6]

The last pine cut for the Rib Lake Lumber Company came from a general location near the last camp #28, and was cut on February 26, 1948.[5]: 148  The company ceased operations shortly thereafter.
