City History

First settled in 1863, Chetek is a city that experienced quick growth and noteworthy expansion. A line on the Chicago, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway was first constructed in 1882, which played a large part in the community’s incorporation as a city in 1891 – without being incorporated as a village first. Stores, mills, banks, and other businesses popped up rather quickly and Chetek became a strong commercial center within the region. Today, Chetek is home to over 2,000 residents and still maintains a strong economy with a small town atmosphere.
