Rothschild is a blue-collar town on the Wisconsin River
Mills and industrial jobs form the heart of the central Wisconsin village of Rothschild. In 1909, a group of lumber barons established a paper mill on the banks of the Wisconsin River, which is still in operation today and remains a key economic driver. The town subsequently grew around it, reaching a population of over 5,500 in 2020. Some homes in the community are inland from the river and industrial areas on gridded streets. Properties are close, with smaller lawns and decorative pine and oak trees at the front and back. Some homes can back onto the river and have private fishing docks. “It’s a great town to reside and raise a family, it’s a quiet town,” says Jeff Marg, team leader with RE/MAX Excel and a Rothschild native.

Domtar Mill and other manufacturing in Rothschild
The mill has been a staple of life in Rothschild since 1909 and is now owned by Domtar, after multiple previous owners, and employs over 350 people. Other manufacturers along the river include chemical producer Borregaard, USA and Wausau Tile. The coal-fired Weston Power Plant is on the southern edge of the community. Home manufacturer Wausau Homes has its headquarters in Rothschild. Marg says that some smells and noises can permeate from the industrial areas but notes that it has improved over the years. However, a train line cuts through the community, causing noise.
