About Edgar

Set in central Wisconsin's Marathon County, Edgar got its start in the late 1800s as a logging and railroad stop along Scotch Creek. It grew steadily as sawmills, local businesses, and family homes filled in along the line between Wausau and Marshfield. Today, the village offers a quiet, neighborly atmosphere, strong local schools, and an easy drive to surrounding employment centers, making it an appealing choice for anyone seeking classic small-town Wisconsin living.
