Babcock Annincorporated village in N sec 14, T21N,R3E (Remington Township), along state highway 80 and the tracks of the Milwaukee Road, E of the Yellow R. Named in honor of Joseph Weeks Babcock, secretary of the Babcock Land Co, which platted the village. The plat's survey was certified on Nov 22, 1890, and the plat was recorded on Nov 29,1890. When, on June 30, 1891, the Chicago, Milwaukee, and ST Paul RR purchased three lines which intersected with its Wisconsin Valley branch at secs 14 and 15, T21N,R3E--The Lisbon, Necedah, and Lake Superior Ry;The Wisconsin, Pittsville, and Superior Ry; and the Milwaukee, Dexterville, and Northern Ry--it was influenced by Joseph Weeks Babcock to establish a division point at the place owned by his land company rather than at the already established village of Remington, thus bringing about the growth of Babcock and the decline of Remington. Babcock PO Oringinally Remington PO. The name was changed on Oct 8, 1890. It seems safe to infer that it was changed to correspond with the name of the village of Babcock, which--though not then in existence--during the folowing year became the site of a new division point on the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St Paul RR.
