Antigo Wedding

Antigo is the county seat of Langlade County, Wisconsin, USA. The population was 8,560 at the 2000 census. Most of the city is located within the Town of Antigo. Small portions are within the towns of Ackley and Rolling. Antigo is the centre of a good farming and lumbering district, and its manufactures consist principally of lumber, chairs, furniture, sashes, doors and blinds, hubs and spokes, and other wood products. The city has a Carnegie library.

The city was founded in 1878 by Francis A. Deleglise. The name "Antigo" comes from the Chippewa Indian name for the river that flows through the area, "Nequi-Antigo-sebi" meaning "spring river" or "evergreen". Antigo sits on a plateau about 1500 feet above sea level. The city gained its charter in 1883.

The wide expanse of level land, the fine stand of timber and the fertility of the "Amigo Flats" soil soon attracted many settlers. Today the Antigo Silt Loam soil is the state soil of Wisconsin.
