Arthur, Wisconsin
Arthur is a town in Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 771 at the 2210 census. The unincorporated communities of Cobban, Crescent, and Drywood are located in the town.
The town is served by the School District of Cadott Community and the Cornell School District.
The general area that would become Arthur was first surveyed in 1848 by a crew working for the U.S. government. In 1849 a different crew marked all the section corners of the township, walking through the woods and swamps, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description of the 6-by-6-mile (9.7 by 9.7 km) square which became the east half of Arthur and the west part of Colburn:
The Surface in this Township is generally level, the Soil cold and wet. In the Northern part there is a considerable quantity of good Pine timber. The currents of the two principal Streams in the South and West are swift - and rocky bottoms - the banks low, and Subject to frequent overflows. But a Small portion of the Township adapted to farming or grazing. It is heavily timbered with Birch, Sugar, Pine, Ash Oak & e. There is a Small Lake in the Eastern part of the Township, the shores of which are low and marshy the water clear and bottom gravel.
A different crew, surveying the 6-mile (9.7 km) square that includes the west end of today's town of Arthur, found some settlers:
There are six dwelling Houses in this Township, one on the N.W. 1/4 of the NW. 1/4 of Section 2 One on the S.W. 1/4 of NW. 1/4 of Section 2 belonging to Daniel McCan.
Founded January 27, 1885, the town was named after Chester A. Arthur, the 21st president of the United States. It was created from the towns of Anson and Sigel. Arthur's first town chairman was H.P. Buchanan who held office until 1890.
The town is in east-central Chippewa County and is bordered on its northwest corner by the Chippewa River. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 43.1 square miles (111.5 km2), of which 42.9 square miles (111.1 km2) is land and 0.19 square miles (0.5 km2), or 0.42%, is water.
