Fifield is a town in Price County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 879 at the 2018 census. The unincorporated community of Fifield is located in the community as well as the ghost town of Coolidge.
Fifield was founded in 1876, where the Wisconsin Central Railroad crossed the south fork of the Flambeau River in the big northern forest. The town is named after Sam Fifield, a politician and businessperson who served as Wisconsin's 14th Lieutenant Governor. [3] As logging boomed and the population grew, a town hall was built in 1882, but burned in the fire of 1893, along with Fifield's whole business district of 60 buildings. The following spring, the town rebuilt the current hall with the same dimensions, headed by carpenter Theodore Ristin.
