Trempealeau County  Created in 1854 and organized in 1855 Trempealeau County's county seat is Whitehall. French fur traders were the first Europeans to enter this land. At the mouth of the Trempealeau River, which flows from northeast to southwest across the county on its way to the Mississippi River, they found a bluff surrounded by water and called it "La Montagne qui tremp a l'eau," which means "mountain with its foot in the water." The name was later shortened.  The county was named after the river.  Trempealeau, Wisconsin Cities Arcadia * Blair * Galesville * Independence * Osseo * Whitehall Villages Eleva * Ettrick * Pigeon Falls * Strum * Trempealeau Towns Albion * Arcadia * Burnside * Caledonia * Chimney Rock * Dodge * Ettrick * Gale * Hale * Lincoln * Pigeon * Preston * Sumner * Trempealeau * Unity Census-designated place: Dodge Unincorporated Communities Beaches Corners * Butman Corners * Chapultepee * Centerville * Coral City * Dewey Corners * Elk Creek * Frenchville * Hale * Hegg * Iduna * North Creek * Pine Creek * Pleasantville * Russell * Tamarack * Upper French Creek * West Prairie * Wrights Corners Ghost towns/neighborhoods Cortland * New City * Williamsburg County Records Biographies Birth Records Cemeteries Census Records Church Histories / Records County Records Death Records Family Bibles and Records History Topics  Marriage Records Military Records Miscellaneous Data   Naturalization Records News Gleanings Obituaries and Death Notices Schools Wills/Probate Records   Website Updates: March 2025 Birth Announcements:  Bartholemew son, Marklun triplet boys, Larson girl, Thomly girl, Bowen son, Lee son, Larson son, Bowen daughter, McCullum son, Andrus daughter, Phillips son, Anderson daughter, Braaten daughter Church Records:  French Creek Tamarack Congregation Baptismal Records 1875 (complete) Death Records:  Death Certificates 1847-1864 Marriage Announcements: Jacques-Durkee, Hall-Moore, Trimm-Bright, Duetch-Coyle; Kopp-Brophy, Riphenberg-Hanson Obituaries and Death Notices:  Otterstad son, Fred Hanson, Gustav Erdmann, Grace Ethle Anderson Sick List:  Alfred Fox, Omar Jones, R.
