Jackson is a village in Washington County, Wisconsin, United States.

Cedar Creek, a tributary of the Milwaukee River runs also through the southeastern part of the Village of Jackson.

[10] The settlement that would become the Village of Jackson was originally known as Riceville, after an English misspelling of town founder Franz Reis's name.

In its early years, the settlement's economy relied heavily on agricultural, and including dairy farming.

[11] In 1872, the Chicago and North Western Railway built a line from Milwaukee to Fond du Lac with a station in Riceville.

Reis capitalized on the new source of transportation by building a general store, a grain elevator, and a saloon.

[11] As the population continued to grow, the village annexed land from the Town of Jackson for new residential subdivisions and commercial developments.

[11][5] On July 17, 2012, a petroleum product pipeline spilled an estimated 54,600 gallons of gasoline in the Town of Jackson.

Thirty-seven private wells contaminated by the spill were ordered abandoned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

The West Shore Pipe Line Company, which owned the pipeline, paid the costs to extend water services from the Village of Jackson to a large part of the Town of Jackson.

Jackson holds a traditional community wide rummage sale every year.
