The Town of Remington is located in Wood County, Wisconsin, United States.

In the spring of 1839 the southern side of the Town of Remington was surveyed, early because it was within three miles of the Wisconsin River, touching the "Indian strip" which was sold by the Menominee to the U.S. government in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars.

[3] In the winter of 1851–1852 a crew working for the U.S. government surveyed all the section corners of the six mile square that would become the east half of the town, walking through the woods and probably crossing the marshes on the ice, measuring with chain and compass.

[4][5] When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description of the east half of the town: The surface of this Township is level, swamp excepting a narrow strip of land of about 40 Chains in width on either bank of the Yellow river which is gently(?)

North of Hemlock Creek, and East of River low and Wet land and might be rendered fit for cultivation, by clearing off the Timber and very thick crop of underbrush.

West of Yellow River the land is principally Tamarack swamp and no one section could be made cultivable without draining(?).

North of Hemlock creek and West of Yellow River is principally 2d rate Pine & Tamarack.
