Info

The man for whom our town is named is SETH H. CONOVER who came from Plymouth Wisconsin. A prominent cheese buyer, he worked in his younger days as a cheese maker in his father’s (Hiram) cheese factory. His father, Hiram Conover was born in 1821 in New York. Seth’s interests and hobbies were fishing and hunting which led him to the wilds of Northern Wisconsin.
His mode of transportation was the C.N.W. Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. After having the train stop in the same location over the years, the railroad men referred to it as the ‘CONOVER STOP.’ The location was such that Seth could journey to North and South Twin where he spent his time hunting and fishing. With logging camps in the area and Seth’s many trips to the area, a station was built there and it soon appeared on official rail road maps as “CONOVER.”
