History Knox Mills was founded by the brothers William H. and Samuel G. Knox to be used as a company town for their lumber business. The Knox Brothers had an agreement with Wisconsin Central Railroad to put a railroad spur in for their lumber business. In 1931, the railroad spur was removed due to the declining lumber business. In 1975, the cheese factory closed.Wisconsin Historical Society-Forest History Association of Wisconsin proceedings-'A History of Knox Mills, Wisconsin' Joyce Bant (1995)
