Origin of name

[edit]

"They are located in Grand Chute, Wisconsin, and are named for timber rattlesnakes." Okay, but what do timber rattlesnakes have to do with Wisconsin? Is is meant to be an intimidating name, or is there a connection between the location and the reptile? -Phoenixrod (talk) 07:21, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The timber rattlesnakein found in western Wisconsin, and the Appleton / Grand Chure area is known for their paper mills so I'm sure they were looking for an intimidating sounding name that was remotely related to paper making. BrewCityStu (talk) 05:09, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
