About Poplar

Poplar is a quiet, welcoming village in Douglas County, located about 18 miles east of Superior along U.S. Highway 2. Home to roughly 600 residents, it offers a peaceful setting surrounded by northern Wisconsin woods and open countryside. Families appreciate having Northwestern Elementary and Northwestern Middle School right in town, while a direct drive down the highway into Superior and Duluth provides quick access to shopping, dining, and healthcare.

Rooted in the area's early logging and railroad history, Poplar has maintained a relaxed rural character with plenty of room to spread out. The community is defined by spacious wooded home lots, friendly local spots, and miles of quiet country roads. It serves as a comfortable home base for anyone seeking peaceful Northwoods living within an easy half-hour drive of the Twin Ports.
