For more than 50 years until its closure in 1941, the Jefferson & Northwestern Railroad provided Cass County communities with a link to the goods and services of the world. This railway was the creation of the owners of the Clark & Boice Lumber Company, who had built a large sawmill on the Big Cypress River at Jefferson in 1880. The mill was a very large operation during its time, capable of producing 100,000 boardfeet a day, and employing more than 200 workers.
