About Tanglewood
Where the Wending River meets Larch Creek, since 1874.
Our town
Incorporated in 1874, Tanglewood grew around a sawmill and the river crossing that became its first covered bridge. Today it is home to 18,214 people, three covered bridges and the oldest public library in the county.
The town is governed by a mayor and six councillors who meet on the second Tuesday of every month at Town Hall, 1 Market Square. Meetings are open to the public.
