In ancient times, the woodlands contained a great deal of timber, but Native Americans burned them periodically to encourage the growth of berries.

At the mouth of the Trempealeau River, which flows from northeast to southwest across the county on its way to the Mississippi River, they found a bluff surrounded by water and called it "La Montagne qui tremp a l'eau," which means "mountain with its foot in the water." The name was later shortened (Elkins, 1985, p.1). The fur trade was a huge part in the early economic development of North America. ...
