Amherst Junction Map
Amherst Junction is a village in Portage County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 305 at the 2000 census.
Amherst Junction was created when the railroad first came through the county. It was a junction between two railroads: the Wisconsin Central and the Green Bay and Lake Pepin railroads.
Until 1875, the community was referred to as Groversburg, presumably after the Grover family that held considerable property in the area. But when a post office was established in March 1875, it was called Amherst Junction.
