The first settlers in Medina were Zebediah Hyde, Lewis Hyde, and Alva McCrary, and Samuel Young and sons, who arrived in 1848.[1]

A post office called Medina was established in 1852, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1966.[2] The community was named after Medina, Ohio.[3] The Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western Railroad previously ran through this town, until it was turned into the "Wiowash Trail," Which gets its name from the counties it runs through: Winnebago, Outagamie, Waupaca, and Shawano.
