History


The community was named for the Stiles family of local settlers, natives of Stilesville, Indiana.[2] The junction was located at a diamond crossing between an east-west line of the Chicago and North Western Railway (C&NW) crossing the north-south Milwaukee Road. The C&NW's branch line ran between Clintonville and nearby Oconto, while the Milwaukee Road's line connected Milwaukee and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.[3] The line east of Stiles Junction is now abandoned, while tracks in the other directions are now owned and operated by the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad.[4]
