==History==
Tomah was founded by Robert E. Gillette in 1855 and incorporated as a city in 1883.〔http://www.tomahwisconsin.com/cityhistory.php Tomah〕 Tomah is named after Thomas Carron (ca. 1752–1818), the second son of Thomas Carron (ca. 1700–1780), a trader at Green Bay that had integrated into the Menominee tribe. The Menominees pronounced the name ''Tomah'' or ''Tomau'' and he became known as Chief Tomah. ''Tomah'' was adopted as the name for the settlement in Monroe County on the unsubstantiated belief that Chief Tomah had once held a tribal gathering in the area.〔Vogel, Virgil J. 1991.
