More About Augusta Wisconsin on the
Augusta Wisconsin
Business Directory
Augusta Wisconsin is located in
what is known as the western hemisphere, on the continent of North America, in the United States of
America, in the Great Lakes State of Wisconsin (also know as the upper
Mid-West and the Badger State), in the County of Eau Claire
Wisconsin , in the Town of Bridgecreek. Augusta Wisconsin is part of regions known as the Chippewa Valley and
Indian Head Country.
Augusta Wis. sets in the middle of beautiful west
central Wisconsin with rolling hills, man made lakes, rivers and streams, marshes, pine and deciduous forests, and charming open spaces. The
area is
known for its family dairy farms, small apple orchards, grains, small
creamery cheese production, tourism and outdoor recreation.
Low crime rates, fresh air, a moderate real estate
market and an industrious population makes it a great place to live,
work and do business. Kids play free here. You'll still
find a seasonal drive-in restaurant with car hops and mom and pop places to
dine but no MacDonald's or Pizza Huts
The area was settled in the mid-19th century by
German, Scandinavian and other European immigrants. Victorian
buildings remain and are still very much in use.
Today Augusta Wisc. has a vital Amish Community, and is proud to be "Small
Town America" and "Main Street USA"

Visit the Augusta
Wisconsin Wildlife Area
just 4 miles north of
town on County Road G.
Visit the Troubled Waters area and the county forest. Over 2000 acres in which to
hunt, pick wild berries, use your
all terrain vehicles or snow mobiles, hike and
cross-country ski (trails are not marked). Some of the trees you see may have
been planted by Augusta School students, decades ago. Spend quiet time - find a deer trail
- sit down near-by and relax - if you are patient, still and quiet you
will them in the wild. You'll see rabbits, squirrels, and maybe even
woodchucks (also known as ground hogs), beavers, badgers, other furbearing
animals, and rarely, possibly even a black bear. Look for turkeys, song
birds and birds of prey: Watch hawks and eagles soar and maybe see a sand
hill or other cranes. Listen to crows as they talk and alert the forest
and marshes of the goings-on.

Tidbits: Did you know?:
"Main Street" in Augusta WI
is not the main street but it is "Lincoln Street". The Community Center is on
"Main Street". The original Augusta High School was located at the
current site of the Community center
Augusta,
a feminine form name, is of Latin origin meaning
"majestic" or "revered".
The word in masculine form is Augustus. See the
history page
for how the town got it's name.

The term
Indian Head Country has become somewhat out of favor because it is considered
not politically correct. You can see the reason for the term by tracing
a map border between Wisconsin and Minnesota, including the western boarder of
Lake Superior - you will see a profile of an
Indian Chief with head dress in the northwest part of the state.

The Chippewa Valley
region name comes from the Chippewa Indian tribe. The American Indian word,
Chippewa, means "the people who wear moccasins with puckered seams".

The Eau Claire
River (pronounced "oh! clare" - French for clear water), gives drainage to
most of the Augusta Wisconsin area via Bridge Creek, which passes though
the center of Augusta. Bridge Creek is the source and outlet for the
Dells Mill Pond and
it joins the Eau Claire River in
Harstad County Park.
What is the meaning of Eau Claire?
The Eau Claire River enters the Chippewa River in Eau
Claire Wisconsin. It and other tributaries give drainage to much of north
central Wisconsin. The Chippewa River itself is a tributary to the
Mississippi River
 |
Wisconsin State is named after the Wisconsin River.
Wisconsin means
a "grassy place" in the language of the Chippewa Indians.
Wisconsin became a state in 1848. Wisconsin borders the states of
Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan (upper Michigan) and Iowa. You'll find
the Great Lakes of Lake Superior to the north, and Lake Michigan to
the east. |
Weather you might expect when you visit
Augusta Wisconsin is just 20 miles from being half way between the equator
and the Arctic. Come prepared with jackets and sweaters as the weather swings
between the seasons; between more northern and more southern climes. The
climate is considered temperate with generally warm summers, extended springs,
early falls and long winters. April, May and September temperatures can
swing wildly between the moderate, the chilly to even the cold. Usually it is
great in summer but sometimes even early June and late August temperatures can
be cool. Trees are in full leaf in early to mid-May. The
peak tree color season is early to mid-October. Lakes usually
begin to ice over in mid-November. The first snows fly in November and end in
early April.
