Donald is an unincorporated community (nearly a ghost town) located in the town of Pershing, Taylor County, Wisconsin, United States, where the Canadian National Railway crosses County Highway M.
Donald was founded in 1903,[1] where the Fountain-Campbell Lumber Company built a sawmill on the Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and Northeastern Railway (a.k.a. the Omaha).[2] The community was named for Donald Campbell, the son of the president of Fountain-Campbell. Before that, the spot was called Fountain Spur, for the other principal of that company.
Donald had a boarding house for sawmill workers.[3] A post office was established in 1904.[4] Around 1905 the J.S. Owen Company built a line for the Wisconsin Central Railway crossing the Omaha line at Donald and heading northwest for Superior - now part of the Canadian National Railway.[5] At some point, the Omaha RR set up a box car as Donald's depot.[3] Donald grew to boast a school and a church.[6]
But after the timber near Donald was depleted around 1916, Fountain-Campbell shut down their sawmill there and moved it north of Ladysmith to Crane, where timber remained.[7] With that, Donald began to dwindle. The Omaha Railroad stopped running in the late 1930s and track was pulled up.[8] The post office closed in 1942.[4] As of 2023, only a few homes and the Canadian National remained.
