Flambeau, WI - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

In 1904 the Lugers Furniture Company acquired a large tract of timberland within the virgin forests of Wisconsin on the Flambeau River. With milling operations running at full capacity, the Lugers constructed eight frame company houses to house their mill workers and families, and the Lugerville settlement became official. By 1909, with most of the sought after Pine trees cut, the Lugers sold their interest in Lugerville to the John R. Davis Lumber Company, who operated the mill until 1914, giving way to the Kneeland and West Lumber Company. Another 14 or 15 homes were added at this time as the mill operated very successfully harvesting the hardwoods that remained in the area. From 1914 through 1919, when the mill was at its peak production, the Lugerville population had swelled to 450 residents.

In 1920 the Town of Flambeau was incorporated, taking with it the Lugerville settlement. The mill operated until 1933, the year the last log was sawn at Lugerville. By 1936, the mill and all its many buildings had been dismantled and the rail lines removed.
