Editing Cadott, Wisconsin (section)

==History==
In the late 1700s or early 1800s Jean Baptiste Cadotte, son of French Canadian [[fur trader]] [[Michel Cadotte]] of the Madeline Island area, established a trading post on the [[Yellow River (Chippewa River)|Yellow River]] near modern Cadott.

In 1865 the village at the current site was founded by Robert Marriner, who built a dam and sawmill on the river and platted the town. Marriner named it "Cadotte Falls" after the earlier trading post.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cadott Centennial historical marker|url=http://www.schoepski.com/states/wisconsin/histmarker/cadott/cadott.htm|accessdate=November 17, 2013}}</ref>
