Located primarily along Eau Claire County Highway "HH", it is flanked on the west by U.S. Highway 53 and on the east by Interstate 94, being the site of I-94's exit #81 in Wisconsin, placing it 11 miles southeast along the freeway from southeastern Eau Claire and 7 miles northwest of Osseo. HistoryThe community was originally called Emmett, but the name was changed to Foster in honor of George E. Foster, who financed the Fairchild and North-Eastern Railway, which ran from Foster to Fairchild in 1912.[3] Two people were killed by an F3 tornado that struck Foster on August 27, 1994.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite gnis|1565162|Foster, Wisconsin}} 2. ^Foster, Wisconsin 3. ^Our Story 'The Chippewa Valley and Beyond'.
