Pray is an unincorporated community located in the town of City Point, Jackson County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]
The community is named after Herman H. Pray (b. 1835). In 1877, Pray was appointed the local postmaster, and the office was named after him.[2][3]
The community is centered on the intersection of Pray Road and Old Highway 54 along the Green Bay and Western Railroad line, where it used to be a train stop. The community is located east of Waterbury and west of Spaulding along the rail line (also former rail stops),[4] and about 2.5 miles north of the current alignment of Wisconsin Highway 54,[5] which was completed in 1953.[6]
