Cornell
Population: 1467

Cornell is a city in Chippewa County.

Trivia:

Cornell has the world's only surviving pulpwood stacker. The stacker helped to launch the huge timber industry in the Northwoods of
Wisconsin in the late 19th century. It was used to move large quantities of pulpwood logs, making the process of stacking wood faster,
safer, and easier. The stacker has been unused since 1972, but is considered a historical treasure.
