Withee was founded in 1870 and named after Niram Withee, a Maine schoolteacher and Wisconsin politician. It became an incorporated village in 1901, and was the principal shipping point for D.J. Spaulding Mills through the Soo Line Railroad. In 1893, drawn by Spaulding Company's offer of land for a church, a Danish Lutheran minister from Chicago, a follower of Grundtvig, moved with a few families into the town of Hixon north of Withee to form a Danish community and church.


Other Danes joined them from around the state and by 1896 the congregation included thirty families. The Danish language was spoken and in 1913 the community even hired a teacher of Danish folk-dancing and gymnastics. Gradually the Danish community blended with the surrounding English speakers, but Nazareth Lutheran church remains.Electricity became available in the village in 1902, provided by the Paul A.


Paulsen mill. For most outside the village, it took another 35 years, with electric lines finally put up around 1937 by the new Clark Electric Cooperative, funded by a loan from the New Deal Rural Electrification Administration.Today Withee is largely a farming community located one mile from the town of Owen.


Although the Village of Withee and the City of Owen are separate municipalities, they operate and communicate as one large community, even sharing the same elementary and high school, the Owen-Withee school district.
