History

Image:PlainCatholicChurch.jpg Luke's Catholic ChurchImage:PlainWisconsinDowntown1.jpg south at downtown Plain on Highway 23Plain is a village in Sauk County, Wisconsin County, Wisconsin, United States. In the letter, the author wrote: "Within a few weeks very strong efforts will be made at proper headquarters to have the name of Plain changed, as that name does not agree with the rushing strides our burg is making. First of all there is no meaning to the word Plain, as it is an adjective; we must have at least a noun and why not put a "ville" or "city" to it.". A post office was established at Plain in 1859, and Plain formally became a village in 1912. There are, however, no known documents, newspaper articles or books of the time to support this claim, and writings of the time indicate a less colorful origin: In the book 'Baraboo and Other Place Names in Sauk County, Wisconsin' (written in 1912, the same year that Plain was incorporated) it says of Plain that it was "called Plain because the inhabitants were plain people." In a September 23, 1915 letter in the local newspaper, the 'Weekly Home News', a subscriber wrote of his desire to have Plain re-christened, as the town had expanded and improved so much over the past three years that it had outgrown the "plain"ness of its name.
