Arnold is an unincorporated community located in the town of Ruby, Chippewa County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

After originally being called Still Hawn for two local businessmen,[2] a post office called Arnold was established in 1905, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1934.[3] The community was named for Arnold Deuel, the postmaster's son.[4]
