Founded in the late 1800s as a railroad and logging settlement, Crivitz, Wisconsin grew from a frontier outpost into a welcoming Northwoods village known as the “Gateway to the North.” Named after the hometown of its German founder, Frederick Bartels, the area became a hub for lumber, paper, and later tourism—drawing generations of vacationers and outdoor enthusiasts. Today, Crivitz has a population of roughly 1,000 residents, though that number swells in summer as visitors arrive to fish, boat, camp, and relax among Marinette County’s 200 lakes and 600 miles of rivers and streams. Popular attractions include Governor Thompson State Park, the Peshtigo River for rafting and kayaking, nearby Dave’s Falls, and a vibrant village center filled with local shops, supper clubs, and community events. Crivitz combines small-town warmth with big outdoor energy—anchored by natural beauty and a strong sense of place.
