Lapham Junction was the location of a railroad junction on the Goodyear branch of the Milwaukee Road. Although it still shows up on some maps, the location is now nothing more than an intersection of two local township roads that were built on top of the old railroad grade. The community was named after Increase A. Lapham,[4] a Wisconsin scientist, author and naturalist.
