The population was 3,053 at the 2010 census.[3] The unincorporated communities of Eagle Point and Eagleton are located in the town. GeographyThe town of Eagle Point is located in central Chippewa County and is bordered to the south by the city of Chippewa Falls. The south-flowing Chippewa River forms the eastern border of the town, impounded into two reservoirs: Old Abe Lake in the north and Lake Wissota in the south. The dams forming Old Abe Lake are just upstream from the unincorporated community of Jim Falls, across the river to the east in the town of Anson. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town of Eagle Point has a total area of {{convert|171.6|sqkm|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|157.7|sqkm|order=flip}} is land and {{convert|13.9|sqkm|order=flip}}, or 8.10%, is water.[3] Demographics{{USCensusPop| 1990= 2542 | 2000= 3049 | 2010= 3053 |estimate=3124 |estyear=2014 }} As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 3,049 people, 978 households, and 820 families residing in the town. The population density was 49.7 people per square mile (19.2/km²). There were 1,018 housing units at an average density of 16.6 per square mile (6.4/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 99.02% White, 0.03% African American, 0.20% Native American, 0.39% Asian, and 0.36% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.16% of the population.

HistoryThe first settlers in this area settled along the Chippewa River. In 1848, when the first surveyors passed through for the U.S. government, they found few "improvements" in the land away from the river, but along the river they noted a number of settlers, in what would become the town of Eagle Point. For the {{convert|6|mi|adj=on|0}} square that includes the part of Eagle Point below modern Jim Falls, the surveyor wrote this general description: The Surface of this Township except in the vicinity of the Streams is level or gently rolling. The same crew surveyed the next six-mile square up the river, north of modern Jim Falls, finding more settlers: This Township has a gently rolling surface is well watered and has a good soil of Loam, Sand and gravel. In 1861, Daniel McCann, who was a resident of Eagle Point, encountered Ahgamahwegezhig.[6] This Indian had captured an eaglet, which he gave to McCann in exchange for a bushel of corn. After McCann sold the eagle to soldiers of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, she became their mascot Old Abe and accompanied them during many battles of the Civil War.[7] Notable people
