Jenny or Jenny Bull Falls, as the city was fondly referred to
before the railroad roared into town, was born on the backs of
speculators, lumbermen, and businessmen in the mid-1840s. Pursuing
wide-eyed dreams in the vast pine forests of the north woods,
Jenny's population was around 200 in 1870. The worn trails of the
Ojibwe/Chippewa, the area's first occupants, were transformed into
logging roads, and by the time the city's name was formally changed
to Merrill in 1881, the population had grown to 2,000. Nicknamed
the "City of Parks" in 1903, Merrill is situated on the convergence
of the Wisconsin and Prairie Rivers and features four seasons of
natural beauty within the city limits. The wonder of Merrill lies
in a century of traditions and in the heritage and beauty of its
numerous historic buildings and places.
