Goetz is a town in Chippewa County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 762 at the 2010 census.




Geography


The town of Goetz is located in southeastern Chippewa County. It is bordered to the south by the Yellow River, a west-flowing tributary of the Chippewa River, and by the village of Cadott.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 29.9 square miles (77.4 km2), of which 29.8 square miles (77.1 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2), or 0.35%, is water.




History


The six by six mile squares that became Goetz were first surveyed in the fall of 1848 by crews working for the U.S. government. In November 1849, a crew marked all the section corners of the eastern six by six square, walking the woods and swamps on foot, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:

A considerable portion of this Township is good agricultural lands. It is generally level and well watered by numerous brooks & creeks. In the South East quarter of Section 14 there is an encloserrer and loging Cabin claimed and occupied by Joseph Thepania. Also in Section 13, about the centre, (in today's town of Delmar) there is an enclosure and cabin occupied by John Shaw. Near these cabins there is much valuable Pine timber. Yellow River which flows through the Eastern and Southern parts affords an easy and convenient mode of getting the timber to market. The Township is heavily wooded with Birch, Sugar, Lind, Elm, Maple, Pine & oak.
For the surveyors' description of the six by six square that contains western Goetz, see Anson.
When Goetz was formed in 1887, the new town was named after Henry Goetz, a farmer who had immigrated from Germany in 1860.
