History

In the summer of 1851 a crew working for the U.S. government surveyed the outline of the six mile square that would become Cary. That December another crew marked all the section corners, walking through the woods and wading the swamps, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:

The surface of this Township is generally level. Except in the Northern Part which is somewhat Rolling. There is considerable sandstone in the Northern Part. the soil is generally 2d rate Although in the North Eastern Part there is some good farming Land; the timber is mostly sugar Oak Linn Tamarack & Pine. Alders in the swamps the streams are fed by the swamps and are not durable during times of drowth.

The town of Cary was split off from the town of Wood in 1901 and named after "Cary", a now-extinct railroad depot within its borders.
