Boulder Junction Wisconsin Area Information

Back in the 1930s, a Chicago-based sportswriter who regularly vacationed in the Boulder Junction Wisconsin area, coined the phrase "Musky Capital of the World" to describe his favorite fishing destination.  Local resorts picked up on the idea and over the course of the next 11 or 12 years, used the term intermittently on their promotional literature.

In 1942, the newly-formed Boulder Junction Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce began using the title on all of its brochures and other printed matter and it has done so ever since.

June 8, 1971, the United States Patent Office awarded Boulder Junction Wisconsin the U.S. Trademark for the MUSKY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.  This trademark was awarded by virtue of the fact that more muskies are caught on our lakes every year than any other similarly-sized area in the world.  Boulder Chamber of Commerce 1-800-GOMUSKY.
