New Richmond was originally settled in the 185s where timber drove the early economy. As that resource was depleted, the community continued to thrive as a bustling business center for the surrounding farmland. In June 1899, Wisconsin.s deadliest tornado struck the city, which when combined with the fires that followed, left 117 dead and more than 2 buildings destroyed. Hard work and determination had most of the business rebuilt within six months. It was testimony to the spirit and fortitude of New Richmond.s citizens, and a quality still seen in today.s population.
