Tomah is a city in Monroe County, Wisconsin, United States.

Tomah was founded by Robert E. Gillett in 1855[3][4] and incorporated as a city in 1883,[5] but the charter was not issued until 1894.

[8] In 1891, construction began in Tomah for a Native American residential school funded by the federal government.

[10][11] Children were forcibly removed from their families and sent to the school from as far away as North Dakota and Oklahoma.

[12] A 2024 report from the Department of the Interior noted that two students who died during their time at the school have been identified.

The river is impounded on the west side of the city, forming Lake Tomah.

Council Creek flows north through the east side of the city to meet the river.

The city is at the boundary between the hills of the Driftless Area in southwest Wisconsin and the flat, sandy, poorly drained ancient bed of Glacial Lake Wisconsin extending to the north and east of the city.

Both are important highways in the United States, with Interstate 90 continuing west to La Crosse, Wisconsin and Interstate 94 heading north to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and the Twin Cities in Minnesota.

Because of this, Tomah has a much broader range of restaurants and lodging facilities than other typical towns of its size.

Tomah station serves Amtrak's Empire Builder once per day per direction.

Commuter bus service towards La Crosse is provided three times daily by Scenic Mississippi Regional Transit.

[25] Within the city, the Tomah Shared Ride Taxi provides demand-response service.
