Eagle River, Wi was the site of the first permanent Indian settlement in the Wisconsin Northwood’s, located on the shores of Watersmeet Lake where the Wisconsin River and Chain 0′ Lakes meet. These early Indians were called Old Copper Indians and were succeeded by the Woodland Indians from 2,600 B.C. to 800 A.D. These Indians were probably the ancestors of the Chippewa, Potawatomi and Menominee.
The city’s name was derived from the abundance of eagles nesting along the river. It is believed that a Bethuel Draper and “Dutch Pete” Cramer camped in the area in 1853 and were responsible for naming Eagle River. A settlement grew as numerous other families began living in the area in 1857. John O’Connor and his son, George, are credited with being foremost among the founding fathers of Eagle River. Their dedication to the growth of the community and their active participation in its civic and political affairs, led to the creation of the town of Eagle River by an act of the State Legislature in 1885, and ultimately to the creation of the county of Vilas on April 12, 1893.
