The population was 846 at the 2000 census. The Menominee call this place Kāēkāēaweqnikoniw, an archaic name meaning "crossing the portage". It falls within traditional Menominee territory which was ceded to the United States in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars as part of the negotiations about how to accommodate the Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee and Brothertown peoples who had been removed from New York to Wisconsin. The town was later named in English after William Underhill, a white settler from Vermont. The town did have an operating post office established in 1888 until it was discontinued in 1976.
