Catawba is a small incorporated village in southwestern Price County, Wisconsin, strung along U.S. Highway 8 near the Rusk County line and surrounded by (and governed alongside) the separate Town of Catawba. It grew from an 1880s railroad and sawmill settlement, incorporated as a village in 1922, and reported a 2020 Census population of 141 (110 in 2010). Unlike the forested, lake-tourism towns that define most of Price County, Catawba is the county's agricultural outlier, a quiet dairy-and-homestead community with its own post office (ZIP 54515), a village government of President and Board of Trustees, and access to ATV and snowmobile trails and the South Fork Jump River. The village posts officials and notices through the Price County website, and area children attend the School District of Flambeau, based west in Tony.
