The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Incorporated in 1905, the town originated when Jacob Meyers from the Mohawk Valley in New York started a stagecoach and freight route between Berlin and Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Because he needed a stop for the horses, he set up a barn and inn on the site of what is now Almond. The U.S. government signed a treaty with the Menominee Natives ceding land in central Wisconsin in 1848, which opened up the area to settlement. A post office was established on July 8, 1850, at the stagecoach stop. James F. Moore, a native of Almond, New York, became postmaster.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Almond has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Rural on the Crystal Historic District in Dayton, 12.9 miles away.
