History
In the Menominee language, this place is known as Māēnomehsāyak 'wild rice along the banks'. The name refers to the wild rice which is a traditional staple of the diets of many Native Americans living in the area, particularly the Menominee, whose name in English is ultimately from an Ojibwe word meaning 'people of the wild rice'. The Menominee ceded this territory to the United States in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars, after years of negotiations about how to accommodate the Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee, and Brothertown peoples who were being removed from New York to Wisconsin.
In English, Shiocton was originally named Jordan's Landing, or Jordanville, likely attributable to Woodford D. Jordan, one of the two first white settlers of the area. The community being referred to as Shiocton came later.
From April 15 to April 23, 2023, Shiocton was evacuated as a result of flooding along the Wolf River, with emergency shelters set up in nearby Black Creek. The School District of Shiocton was closed, and most of the highways leading into the village were closed/impassable because of the flood.
