In the early 1880s, a railroad line, operated by the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway was built to serve northern Wisconsin, crossing the White River at what would become the Village of Mason. After the railroad was established, John Alexander Humbird opened the White River Lumber Company on the banks of the White River. The mill served as the catalyst for the settling of the area. A post office called Mason has been in operation since 1883. [5] The mill closed in 1914 when the area no longer contained enough trees to continue supporting the mill and the population of the town decreased significantly as a result. In 1925, the Village of Mason was incorporated, separate from the Township of Mason. The village's name honors Freemasonry. [6]
The area in which the Village of Mason is located is the native homeland of the Ojibwe.
