History
The La Crosse, Trempealeau & Prescott Railroad chartered to build from a point across the river from Winona, Minnesota to connect with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad.[2] This rail junction originally was called Trempealeau Junction, but later became Winona Junction.[3] The railroad was consolidated with the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad June 6 1877.[2] The area was renamed in honor of Samuel Medary, an American politician.[3] A community post office operated under the name Medary in 1895 until 1900.[4]
