ABBOTSFORD
Abbotsford for years was famous chiefly as the junction of the Chippewa Fans railroad with the Wisconsin Central, now both part of the Soo line. It is three miles north of Colby and since the cut-off was built from Spencer to Owen and the consequent removal of railroad activities from the former junction, the advancement of Abbotsford was not rapid for a few years, but recently it has found a new mission in supplying a local market for a rich farming country and is steadily progressing. It has a population of about 1600 and together with Colby and Unity is on the line between Clark and Marathon counties. [1881 Abbotsford Depot]
