==History==
Stetsonville began when the [[Wisconsin Central Railway (1897–1954)|Wisconsin Central Railway]] built its line through the area in 1872, heading north for [[Ashland, Wisconsin|Ashland]]. The stop was initially called "63." In 1875 Isiah Stetson built the first sawmill in town. The town was later named after him.<ref>{{cite book|last=Latton|first=Arthur J.|title=Reminiscences and Anecdotes of Early Taylor County|year=1947|publisher=Brookhaven Press|location=La Crosse, Wisconsin|pages=191–193|url=http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/wch&CISOPTR=31424&CISOSHOW=31388&REC=1}}</ref>

The people of Stetsonville drew water from private [[Water well|wells]] until the 1980s, when petroleum contamination began to appear in some of them. A complete cleanup of the source was impossible, so in 2010 the village established a [[municipal water system]], with help from the [[Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources|DNR]], the [[USDA]], the [[American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009|American Recovery and Reinvestment Act]], and other sources.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ballas|first=Eric|title=Stetsonville's thirst for success - Building a public water supply|url=http://dnr.wi.gov/wnrmag/2012/04/water.htm|access-date=April 10, 2012|newspaper=Wisconsin Natural Resources|date=April 2012}}</ref>
