Colby   
Population: 1852

Colby is a city in Clark and Marathon counties.

Trivia:

When the Wisconsin Central Railroad was building its line through the wilderness heading toward Lake Superior, it finished its 1872
construction season with rails completed to the site of today's Colby. The place was initially called "Section 53," but the railroad renamed
 the station in honor of Charles L. Colby, partner in the construction company that was building the railroad, and the son of the railroad's
 financier Gardner L. Colby.

Colby is the birthplace of Colby cheese. A historical marker in downtown Colby commemorates the development of Colby cheese by Joseph
Steinwand in 1874.
