The Town[3] of Delmar is located in Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin.

[4] The 6-by-6-mile (10 by 10 km) squares that became the Town of Delmar were first surveyed in the fall of 1848 by crews working for the U.S. government.

In November 1849 a crew marked all the section corners of the eastern six by six square, walking the woods and swamps on foot, measuring with chain and compass.

[5][6] When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description: In the Southern part of this Township there is a considerable quantity of valuable Pine timber.

The Surface is generally flat, the Soil poor & wet and but a Small portion adapted to farming.

Yellow River runs through the North Western Corner of the Township and there is also a considerable stream on the Eastern Part, which affords a good source(?)
