In the 1840s the land that would become Saint Croix Falls was indirectly settled by Scandinavians and Germans. After the increase of logging, and the founding of the Cushing Land Company, Saint Croix Falls became incorporated in Wisconsin during 1887. The logging industry became important in St Croix falls, attracting New England immigrants which started a chain reaction of cutting down vast amounts of white pine. They were sent down the saint Croix river and the Mississippi River. From the late 1890s on the logging industry died down, the last log going down the Saint Croix log mill in 1914. This made St. Croix falls a more agricultural town. It officially became a city in 1958.

The Saint Croix Falls Dam was completed in the town in 1907 to generate hydroelectricity for Minneapolis, Minnesota, impounding the river's natural falls.
