Kronenwetter is a village in Marathon County, Wisconsin, United States.

The former unincorporated community of Peplin was also located in the town of Kronenwetter before its incorporation into a village.

Prior to the formation of the town of Kronenwetter, the area was composed of several small settlements.

Around 1855, a Native American named Keeler dug a canal, rerouting the Bull Jr. Creek over a drop to power a small sawmill he built.

In 1857, Sebastian Kronenwetter moved to the area and purchased the Keelerville sawmill, making it quite successful.

In the years to follow, Kronenwetter continued his success, owning a hotel and building a sawmill in what is now the city of Mosinee.

The brothers constructed a sawmill, store, office, blacksmith shop, and living quarters for the workers.

To advertise their new community, the brothers printed brochures describing the area in Polish and sent them to major cities in the United States.

Among the first to arrive were Vince Ruzga, Albert Wonsil and Alex Dyda.

The sawmill eventually was shut down, but others were built in the area and were supported by the community, as the lumber was needed for homes.

In the 2000 census, separate reports were prepared for the most densely populated section or district.

Since July 2, 2007, the Kronenwetter Police Department has provided 24-hour-a-day coverage for the village.

EMS service is provided through contract by the Riverside Fire District.
