Interest in curling began in the mid-1950's with a group of area residents who traveled weekly to
Waupaca to curl at the Waupaca Curling Club. after a few years of trekking to Waupaca, enough interest was developed to start a curling club in the Tri-City area. With great cooperation and support from Nekoosa Edwards Paper Company, the Tri-City Curling Club was formed in 1958. The two-sheet facility was located at the rear of the Port Edwards mill parking lot, just south of the YMCA.
