Kaiser is a ghost town in Price County, Wisconsin, United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/dictionary/index.asp?letter=K&action=search&term_type_id=2&term_type_text=Places )〕 Kaiser was located in the town of Lake along the current route of the Tuscobia State Trail, west-southwest of Park Falls. The town was marked on USGS maps as late as 1941.〔 == History == The village of Kaiser was platted by, and named after A.E. Kaiser in 1911. Mr. Kaiser was a logger and civic leader from nearby Park Falls. Farmland near the area of Kaiser had been settled as early as 1881. John Stehwein homesteaded 160 acres of land along County Road E, an area which became knowm as "''Kaiser's Corner''". C.M. Gardner, another early settler, was the namesake of nearby ''Gardner Lake''. Walter Loomer built a small country store in October of 1901. The store, a Post Office, and a one-room school were already open when the plat for the village was laid out. The country surrounding Kaiser was one of the better farming areas in northern Price County. Much of it was level and loamy with few rocks in the soil. This attracted many settlers who were interested in farming, and by 1920 Kaiser had some of the most productive dairy farms in northern Price County. The sawmill that provided work for many residents was built by J.S. Blackwell in 1905, on a pond located about one-half mile west of the "''Kaiser's Corner''" spot. Blackwell contracted with J.W. and E.W. Noble to build and operate the mill. Logs were brought in by neighboring farmers and the lumber was then either sold, or shipped out to Park Falls by horse-drawn wagon. Operations expanded considerably when the Omaha Railway Line approached Park Falls and built a siding to the mill in 1910. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaiser, Wisconsin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
