Somerset is a village in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, along the Apple River.

Before the turn of the century Somerset was bordered on the south by cranberry bogs.

The terrain naturally lent itself to the production of cranberries as a result of the hilliness of the area, which is dotted with ponds, sloughs, swamps and bogs.

Indeed, Somerset already had a history of being a rough logging town, and it was only a natural progression to become the supplier of bootlegged alcohol to the twin cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.

After Prohibition ended, the citizens of Somerset returned to the more humble activities of logging and farming.

[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.75 square miles (7.12 km2), all of it land.

Wisconsin Highways 35 and 64, and County Roads C, I, and VV are main routes in the community.

The Avett Brothers, Slipknot, Ozzy Osbourne, Kenny Chesney, The Lumineers, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Pretty Lights are just some of the previous headliners.

Somerset also hosted the Tough Mudder and The Border Battle Beer Fest.

Every June, Somerset also holds its annual Pea Soup Days.
