Almond, Wisconsin

Almond is a village in Portage County, Wisconsin, United States.

Incorporated in 1905, the town originated when Jacob Meyers from the Mohawk Valley in New York started a stagecoach and freight route between Berlin and Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Because he needed a stop for the horses, he set up a barn and inn on the site of what is now Almond.

The U.S. government signed a treaty with the Menominee Natives ceding land in central Wisconsin in 1848, which opened up the area to settlement.
