About River Falls

River Falls is a western Wisconsin city on the Kinnickinnic River, mostly in Pierce County with a portion in St. Croix County. Its first settlers arrived in 1848, and the city's present name comes from the river that runs through town. The University of Wisconsin-River Falls gives the city a college-town element, while its location near the Twin Cities keeps it tied to regional commuting and growth. River Falls combines river scenery, campus life, and small-city services.
