Kennan is a small incorporated village in the southwest corner of Price County, in northern Wisconsin, covering about 1.98 square miles of land at roughly 45.53 N, -90.59 W. Its 2020 Census population was 143 (Wisconsin DOA), with an official 1/1/2025 state estimate of 141, making it one of the smallest villages in the Northwoods (the county's own village page still lists the older 135 count). It is governed by a Village President (Jill Arndt), a Board of Trustees, and a Clerk (Brenda Jones), with the village page hosted on the Price County government site and a separate Town of Kennan on its own .gov. The Census school-district boundary places the village in the Phillips School District, and its identity is quiet rural Northwoods life anchored by hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, the South Fork of the Jump River, and Big Falls County Park just outside the village.
