The Village of Oconto was
established in the fall 1887
following a generous donation
of land from Wallace Higgby.
The village, once known for its
many windmills, was
nicknamed "The Windmill
Town" by the local people.
Originally named Olax the
name was changed because of
its similarity to Lomax,
Nebraska. It is unknown where
the name Oconto came from
but it is an Menominee Indian
word meaning "place of the
picerel".
