| "New" County on February 27, 1879 It was attached to Shawano County for government and judicial purposes. At that time it consisted of 42 full townships and 5 partial townships covering territory in four different present day counties. No towns were named until 1881. By an act of the state legislature the name was changed to "Langlade" in February 1880. |
|||
"New" County was created on February 27, 1879 and renamed "Langlade" in February 1880. However, no Towns were named by the Langlade County Board until February 19, 1881. This creates the interesting situation of the 1880 Federal Census. The 1880 census lists Langlade County as having the three enumeration districts of Carpenter, Langlade, and Springbrook. These may have also been the names of three districts having chairman on the Shawano County Board which had administrative jurisdiction for Langlade County. I am trying to find out what townships were in each of these districts? The problem is that sources I have checked say that the microfilm rolls of the census of Wisconsin for the 1880 Census do not have the enumeration district descriptions. That historical information seems to have been lost. So, I guess the only way to figure this out would be by checking the names and referencing to other resources to figure out as to which townships are in which districts! |

| 1898 Boundary Error Found in Statutes in 1907 Chapter 2, section 5, paragraph 5, Wisconsin Laws of 1898, gives a legal description of Langlade County which inadvertently cut off Rolling and Norwood. This error was not discovered for nine years until 1907, by E.F. Nelson, who represented Rolling township in the State Assembly. The error was quickly corrected by the legislature.

The name was changed to "Antigo" on February 19, 1881 when the six original towns of Langlade County were created and named. Springbrook was an administrative district represented by a chairman on the Shawano County Board which had administrative jurisdiction for Langlade County at this time. It also was an enumeration district on the Federal 1880 Census. There were also two other enumeration districts for the county. They were named Carpenter and Langlade. The townships in their area is also not known because the enumeration district descriptions are not on the microfilmed rolls of the 1880 census of Wisconsin. These descriptions seemed to be lost to history for Wisconsin and several other states. |
