The Town of Nokomis is a civil town (unincorporated minor civil division) in southern Oneida County, Wisconsin, just north and west of the city of Tomahawk and defined by its namesake Lake Nokomis on the Tomahawk River flowage system. Its 2020 Census population was 1,372 and Wisconsin's official January 1, 2025 estimate is 1,421. It is a small, lake- and forest-rich, tourism- and residential-oriented community governed by an elected town chair (Nate Gaedtke) and two supervisors, and it lies wholly within the Tomahawk School District. Identity, geography, population, officials, the school-district service area, and lake data here bind to primary state (DOA), Census Gazetteer, the town's own .gov site, the district's own site, and Wisconsin DNR; ACS income and age figures and several secondary items (enrollment count, highways, hospital, broadband) remain flagged where no primary source was reachable.
