The Genoa National Fish Hatchery was created on the banks of the Upper Mississippi River to take advantage of the wide variety of fish available from the river, and its mission was to augment bass and bluegill populations in the river.
In addition, the Genoa staff infested 100 yearling lake sturgeon with Hickorynut glochidia, and then placed the lake sturgeon in culture cages in the Mississippi River (Pool 9), and fish were removed after juvenile transformation.
Rearing largemouth and smallmouth bass at the Genoa National Fish Hatchery begins by collecting adult fish from disease-free wild populations in early fall to maintain genetic diversity and to replace aged hatchery broodstock.
Genoa is a small village with the population of 266.
Genoa's original name started out to be Hastings Landing, then it was named Bad Axe, and finally in 1868 it became "Genoa." The Lock and Dam No. 8 is found in Genoa.

For a time it was thought quite appropriate as the people were kept in fear by the bad characters that came to the vicinity from off the Mississippi River, as it was quite a steamboat landing.
However, in 1868 the people changed the name to Genoa, being as the community was founded and settled by persons of mostly Italian descent.
The Mississippi River was the force that led to Genoa's development as with many of the other villages, towns and cities in the pioneer days.

Genoa Station #3 (G-3), located on the bank of the Mississippi River about 20 miles south of Dairyland Power Cooperative's La Crosse, Wis., headquarters, was completed in 1969 at a cost of $56 million.
G-3 was named simply because it was the third generating facility to be built in Genoa, Wis. (Genoa #1, now dismantled, and the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor, shut down in 1987 for economic reasons, were built earlier.)
This super efficient, single unit station has a generating capacity of 379 megawatts of electricity.
