The quiet town of Independence is located 35 miles south of Eau Claire and 50 miles north of LaCrosse. The City of Independence received its name because the town was established in 1876, the year of the Centennial celebration of American independence.
The town was laid on the Green Bay and Western railroad at the mouth of Pleasant Valley. Although the surrounding territory had been settled, Independence was one of the earliest townships in this part of the county.
Independence was incorporated in 1885 with census of 350 people. And today, the small, tranquil City of Independence has a population of 1,244 people.
