Wolf River Paper & Fiber Company Plaque Installed

Published April 17, 2025

The 16th Shawano Has History plaque, the Wolf River Paper & Fiber Company, was installed at Sturgeon Park in Shawano.  The plaque overlooks Shawano Specialty Papers – a division of Little Rapids Corporation, the sponsor of this plaque.  The Wolf River Paper & Fiber Company started its business journey in 1891 as a pulp mill which added a paper mill in 1894.  The mill became Shawano Paper Mills which was purchased by Little Rapids in the 1950’s.
