History
Kronenwetter was formerly known as the Town of Kronenwetter and had long been a town in Marathon County, located just southwest of Wausau.

The first village board of trustees were sworn into office on January 13, 2003. On February 24, 2003, the village annexed the remainder of the town dissolving the town as a legal entity.
