History
The city was founded in 1878 by Francis A. Deleglise. The name "Antigo" comes from the Chippewa Indian name for the river that flows through the area, "Nequi-Antigo-sebi" meaning "spring river" or "evergreen". Antigo sits on a plateau about 1500 feet above sea level. The city gained its charter in 1883.
The wide expanse of level land, the fine stand of timber and the fertility of the "Antigo Flats" soil soon attracted many settlers. Today the Antigo Silt Loam soil is the state soil of Wisconsin.
In the early part of the 1900s, Antigo was best known for its sawmills. At the turn of the millennium, the city's economy had a good balance of industry and agriculture. High on the list are potatoes, dairy farms, fur, shoes, fertilizer, steel and aluminum products, along with the lumber and wood product industries established in the earlier years.
In the later part of the century, Antigo was known for its high school football team. Coach Gordon Schofield led the Red Robins to Division 1 State Championships in 1976, 1978 and 1982. Other state championships for Antigo high school sports includes the boy's hockey championship in 1993 led by coach Bill Thoreson, and the state wrestling championship in 1984 under coach Dave Wentland.
