History
Arcadia was founded in 1855 on a hill overlooking the Trempealeau River Valley. However, when the Green Bay and Western Railroad built a line in the river valley, the city developed along the line. In 1858, David Massuere began work on a flour mill that was then finished in 1860. In 1900, the city built a Grist Mill For Michael Stelmach and John Kamla. In 1903 Korpal Valley School was moved to the Mill. Around the early 2010s the school building collapsed and was removed, yet the Mill still stands.
Arcadia's growth in the first decades of the 21st century has been fueled by the arrival of Hispanic and Latino immigrants. The immigrant population was targeted in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in 2018. As of 2021, the city was home to about twenty Latino-owned small businesses.
