Mosel is an unincorporated community in the town of Mosel, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

History[]

A post office called Mosel was established in 1869, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1903.[2] The community was named after the Moselle river (German: Mosel) in Europe.[3] The township was originally spelled Moselle, and the same may be true of the community.
