Fifield is a large, forest-dominated town (a Wisconsin minor civil division, not an incorporated village) in northern Price County, seated at the junction of State Highways 13 and 70, with the unincorporated community of Fifield at its heart. Roughly 100 of its about 150 square miles lie inside the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, and it markets itself as a gateway community and a vacation and retirement area. The official 2020 Census population was 905 (Wisconsin DOA and the Price County directory agree; a widely copied Wikipedia figure of 948 is not supported by either primary source). The town is run by an elected three-member Town Board (Chairperson William Felch) with Clerk/Treasurer Angela Richardson, its children attend the PK-12 Chequamegon School District in Park Falls, and its identity is Northwoods logging heritage and outdoor recreation anchored by the South Fork of the Flambeau River, the Round Lake Recreation Area, and the 1894 Old Town Hall Museum.
