Not sure about the team name, but it's a real town. I've driven through it, though I don't remember it, to be honest.
The town has a casino, so here in Wisconsin you hear the name all the time in ads for the casino.

Well...I knew that. I'm referring to the context of the high school using nimrod. |

Yep it is really a town and that is the true name of the team. I used to live fairly close. Like jase said that basically the only thing that is there is a casino. There is also the paulding light, which people go to see. Here is a link to it. It is pretty hokey. www.backwoodswisconsin.com/paulding_light.htm |
