The cheese industry came to Wiota when the Wiota Creamery was built in 1893, later becoming a cheese factory. The factory was rebuilt in 1953, when Walter Gobeli was the cheesemaker, and has experienced numerous changes and expansions since that time. The name changed through the years, as very often occurred with a new cheesemaker.
