Marshfield (Wisconsin)
city in Wood and Marathon counties in Wisconsin, United States
Marshfield located in North Central Wisconsin, was a thriving regional center for northwest Wisconsin in the late 19th century known as "Hub City" for all of the railroad tracks that converged there. It sported a bevy of German immigrants and a strong lumber trade. Not to be outdone by Chicago, it had its own conflagration in 1877 that burned down most of the town, then reemerged with more of a brick facade. Today, it is a little quieter but nonetheless known for the Marshfield Clinic, a big name in healthcare.
