History
Formed in 1879 from Oconto County and Shawano County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Langlade County was created on March 3, 1879 from parts of Oconto and Shawano counties, initially called New. The county was renamed Langlade on February 20, 1880, and fully organized and detached from Shawano on February 19, 1881. In 1885, Langlade County gained territory from Shawano County and then from Lincoln County, while losing land to the creation of Forest County.
