Origin of the name Wausau tied to McIndoe tale in Marshfield Times
The Marshfield Times reprints Judge John C. Clarke on the origin of the name Wausau. Walter D. Melndoe helped form the county and city names in 1850, with Marathon for the county. The piece recounts Chippewa presence, naming by explorers, and the Bull Falls, Gros Toro, and Gram Pere Toro rapids. It also notes McIndoe donating the public square and remarks on local lore.
