Arnott is an unincorporated community located in Stockton, Portage County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] It is situated at the intersection of County Hwys. B and J.
In 1872, the Green Bay and Western Railroad laid tracks through a portion of Arnott. During 1881 and 1882, William Arnott, Joseph Bremmer, and Calvin Richmond canvassed the countryside, raising money to build a railroad depot.[2] The depot and the settlement around it were named after Arnott, a local farmer who served as chairman of the town of Stockton and the Portage County Board and who was elected to the Wisconsin Legislature in 1876.[3]
Arnott is located in central Wisconsin, approximately four miles east of Plover, four miles south-southwest of Custer, and seven miles west of Amherst (Lat: 44° 27' 26.0", Lon: -89° 26' 48.5").
Arnott has one tavern, a feed mill, a lawn equipment dealer, and an egg roll factory. It is a stopover for the Tomorrow River Trail,[4] a former railroad grade turned into a walking path and snowmobile trail.
Arnott is near the Wimme Sand & Gravel Pit, Milestone Materials' gravel pit, American Asphalt's Custer Road plant, and a traffic safety/road marking company.
