Located in the northeastern corner of Jackson County, Wisconsin, the Town of Cleveland has much to offer those looking for somewhere special to live or play.
Settled in 1856, the beauty of the landscape was apparent from the first settlers as they referred to the area as "Garden Valley" or "Vineyard of the Lord," because of the view they saw from what is now "Fairview Hill". In 1886, section 24 N, range 5 W, officially became known as the Town of Cleveland.
Residents and visitors alike enjoy the unique natural resources the Driftless Area provides. The hilltops and valleys offer natural prairies and agricultural fields, while the wooded hillsides and slopes provide a forested backdrop to life in rural Jackson County. The area is home to the headwaters for both the Buffalo and Trempealeau Rivers, as well as creeks feeding into both the Black River and Eau Claire River watersheds. Several of these creeks are designated as Class I or Class II Trout Streams by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Because of these special features many endangered, threatened, and rare plants and animals can be found here.
Although rural by character, life in the Town of Cleveland is enhanced by its proximity to larger cities and their infrastructure. US Highways 10, 12, and 27 can be found in the town, as well as County Road B. These provide easy access to larger cities such as Eau Claire, Black River Falls, and Marshfield. Smaller neighboring communities include Fairchild, Humbird, Augusta, Osseo, and Neillsville.
Rest and relaxation in the Town of Cleveland greatly revolves around our natural resources. Camping, hiking, bird watching and wild life viewing, berry picking, hunting and fishing, gardening, ATV and snowmobile trails, and much more are readily available in the community.
