That real estate company is working in the best interests of the seller. They want to get the highest possible price for that seller. Use our free Buyer's Agent Services to save money and leverage the real estate transaction into your best interests. This service is offered free of charge because Buyer's Agents traditionally split the Listing Agent's commission or are paid by the seller. |
Onalaska, Wisconsin
Great glaciers of the Ice Age
bypassed Onalaska, forming the "driftless region" which left the majestic
scenery and topography of Onalaska. The steep rocky bluffs, winding valleys,
fertile river bottom and great Mississippi River Basin made the Onalaska area
appealing for habitation. As early as 8,000 BC, Native Americans lived in small
mobile family groups in the Onalaska area. Later, the Oneota culture was noted
for their farming methods, as well as using the area for fishing, and hunting.
Onalaska was originally founded by Thomas G. Rowe from New York, who came here
in 1851. It soon became a flourishing lumber town. The name "Onalaska" came from
the poem, "The Pleasures of Hope," by Thomas Campbell, published in 1799. Rowe
liked the line, "The wolf's long howl from Onalaska's shore," and decided to use
the name, only with one "o". Onalaska is built on a ridge overlooking Lake
Onalaska and the Black River, the Mississippi River and the Minnesota bluffs
three miles away. Source:http://www.ci.onalaska.wi.us/
