No log in required. View a collection of historical documents, biographies, yearbooks, genealogy and more. Every community has its own unique and interesting history, and Tomahawk, Wisconsin is no exception. Wm. H. Bradley chose this area to realize his dream of building a city.  In 1886 he began the process of carving a city out of wilderness and almost overnight, Tomahawk was born.  People arrived; logging camps, sawmills and a dam were built; homes, stores and other businesses followed, as well as a school and hospital.  And the railroad extended to the city.  Though the logging boom eventually died down, the community continued to thrive.  The community pride and spirit  demonstrated by the early settlers still prevails.
