About Junction City

Junction City is a quiet, friendly Portage County village of around 400 residents. The community got its start in the 1870s when two major rail lines crossed paths, quickly growing around the train depot that gave the town its name. Today, it retains that classic small-town feel, offering a peaceful, slow-paced setting where neighbors know one another.

One of the biggest perks for newcomers is the convenient central location. Positioned right along Highway 10 and Highway 34, Junction City offers an easy commute to larger hubs like Stevens Point, Marshfield, and Wisconsin Rapids. It is a great fit for anyone looking for affordable, spacious living and quick access to outdoor recreation without straying far from everyday conveniences.
