It is amazing how many towns changed their names and how many more do not exist anymore. These names were gathered from a variety of sources including gazetteers, history books, plat maps and atlases. To make things more confusing, county borders kept changing to form new counties. Some of the sources used were printed before the borders were changed which would list a city in the wrong county.

The spelling of town names seemed to change depending on the document and the new' postmaster. The railroad and federal post office did try to eliminate the repeated or similar names. The railroad, post office and village name were not always the same. Eventually these names combined under one name and where possible there was an attempt to list name changes. Post offices were located in hotels, general stores, or even the postmaster’s living room. A post office location may have been merely a few houses or a drop point for the railroad. They are listed because it was the only address a rural area would have.

We would appreciate receiving any information to improve on what we have started. We are sorry for any errors or omissions and assume no responsibility for total accuracy. We were aware of wrong information and spellings in the sources wc used and have tried to indicate them or have found a solution to the problem. The dates used for the earliest births, marriages and deaths were taken from a list published by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services. (In the 2015 edition wc also added in information in [ ] from the actual county courthouses if it was different.)

Linton/Linnlon indicates different spellings of same name

Oakland (Center) name has been shortened to the first word only

(was Muskratville) was known previously by this name

(now Norwood in Langlade Co.) after the county lines changed a city would sometimes be renamed

it indicated city falls in more than one township

★ indicates county seat location on map

What was once a thriving community may now he hut a memory landmarked by a lone house or foundation. iv Order of Formation of Wisconsin Counties

Fond du Lac was visited by French traders as early as 1787, Tor in that year a trading post was established at the forks of the Fond du Lac river, by one Jacob Franks of Green Bay, and Franks' clerk, Jacques Poltier, was placed in charge of the stock of goods. The name Fond du Lac is a French term meaning 'farthest end of the lake'.

In November, 1835, a number of prominent men of Green Bay associated themselves into a land company, for the purpose of buying and selling land at the head of Lake Winnebago, then in the county of Brown, Wisconsin Territory. Articles of association were drawn up and signed by the parties interested and the organization became known as the Fond du Lac Company. Three hundred shares were issued and sold at the par value of one hundred dollars each. These shares were distributed amongst the members of the company as follows: James Duane Doty, president, 46 shares; Joshua Hathaway, 12 shares; John Parndt, 40 shares; George McWilliams, 20 shares; R. S. Clarey, 10 shares; R. B. Marcy, 4 shares; F. F. Hamilton, 35 shares; David Ward, 3 shares; Brush, Rees and Company, 6 shares; C. C. Sibley, 12 shares; William Brown, 64 shares; Henry S. Baird, 3 shares; M. E. Merrill, 10 shares; R. S. Satterlee, 20 shares; Silas Stedman, 10 shares; Samuel Ryan, 7 shares; Alexander J. Irwin, 4 shares; David Jones, 15 shares; W. Alexander, 4 shares; E. Childs, 14 shares; M. Scott, 3 shares.

The company, by the first of January’, 1836, came into possession of 3,705 acres of land, all of which now lies within the confines of the city of Fond du Lac, and the officials of the company, comprising James Duane Doty', president, David Jones, George McWilliams, F. F. Hamilton and W. 11. Bruce, directors, had laid out a village and completed its survey in November, 1835, the name of which was designated as the "Town of Fond du Lac." The plat of the village was acknowledged before a notary public on August 23, 1836, was recorded in the office of the register of deeds from Brown county, of which Fond du Lac county was then a part.

The Republican Party was founded in Ripon in 1854.

The Camp Five Museum is a living history museum located in Laona, Wisconsin that interprets the forest industry and transportation history of Wisconsin. It includes part or all of the Camp Five Farmstead, also known as Camp Five Logging Camp, which was fisted on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The R. Connor Company established a logging camp at this site in the late 1890s, their fifth camp near Laona. By 1914, the timber within reach of the camp was exhausted, so it was converted into a company farm, to supply meat, vegetables, and work horses to Connor's other camps in the area. The site worked well because it was near town, the land in the immediate vicinity was good for fanning, and it lay on a rail fine. The farm continued to supply Connor’s logging camps for decades. In 1969, the farm opened to the public as a history museum.

Minertown-Oneva, also known as Minertown, in Forest County, Wisconsin is a historic logging camp built in the early 1900s by Wilbur and I lenry T. Miner. It's in the vicinity of Carter, Wisconsin.

71 IOWA

Established by Michigan Territorial Leg¬ islature, 9 October 1829, effective 1 January 1830, from Crawford County.

On 21 October 1829, the Michigan Ter¬ ritorial legislature, using natural features as boundary lines, divided Iowa County into six towns. The Iowa County Board Proceedings contain ambiguous refer¬ ences to the organization of these towns, and they seem to have been in existence intermittently until 1838. The Proceed¬ ings for 2 April 1838 list election dis¬ tricts or precincts, and the original towns are not mentioned as such after that date. The 1838 list reappears on 15 April 1839, with a few omissions and one ad¬ dition, and again on 6 April 1840. No boundaries are given. On 3 April 1843, County Board records describe the boundaries of the fifteen precincts estab¬ lished at that time. These were changed slightly in the years between 1843 and 1849. When most of the towns in Iowa County were established by the County Iowa County Court House Area Research Center Board on 2 January 1849, their bounda¬ 222 N Iowa Street Ullsvik Hall ries resembled, at least in part, the Dodgeville, W1 53533 University of Wisconsin-Platteville boundaries of the earlier election pre¬ www.iowacountv.org One University Plaza cincts—although their names were, in most cases, quite different.

In 1848 the Wisconsin became a state. Driven by the changes in county boundaries, the county seat was moved to Dodgeville in 1861, and is the site of Wisconsin’s oldest operating Courthouse.

The first courthouse was a primitive log structure with a door, a window of sorts, a table and a few chairs. Next door was the log jail. Meetings in the little cabin were few, for both the county' board and the juries chose to meet in more adequate quarters provided by the local hotels. Ab Nichols received most of the business in his “Mansion House”, nearby.

In 1835, the second courthouse was built, under the direction of the County Sheri ff Levi Sterling, at a cost of $575. It was 24 feet square, made of heavy oak logs, and two stories high. The lower floor was a single courtroom with an eight-foot ceiling. The upper story consisted of three courtrooms although these had only a seven foot clearance; a winding stairway connected the floors. The walls were stopped and painted with lime mortar. The judge’s bench was two feet high w ith steps; the table for the clerk of the board was seven feet long and three feet wide. Both floors had seats for juries.

In April. 1838, Iowa County was reorganized. At the first meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the newly reorganized county, they directed Abner Nichols to examine the courthouse and determine what was needed to render the building habitable. The report included “lathe and plaster all around and overhead. Below to be weather boarded with one-inch furrow lines, put on w ith strong spikes. Buttoned shutters to be hung on the upper windows. Ceiled overhead; ceiling to be matched. Walls to be lathed and plastered, and lined with chair boards. The lower room to be supplied with a neat bar and jury benches and boxes.

In 1842, bids for a new courthouse building were solicited. The contract was awarded to Elizar Smith and Michael Carson, for $6,150. Construction dragged on for over a year, during which the design was changed and a pediment roof, four 28 foot columns, a 10 foot portico, and a front dome were added. The dome was to be built according to plans drawn for the courthouse in Rockford, 1L. For the changes, the builders were allowed an additional $1, 318.50.

After the Civil War most states required marriage applications. Wisconsin, Indiana and Utah started but did not include a marriage date on the application.

The first divorce was granted in Wisconsin by the territory legislature in 1840. In 1842 several more were requested but declined.

The 1899 legislature raised the age of consent of females from 14 to 18 years of age.

Due to the three colleges the municipality of La Crosse is recognized as a technology and medical center. In 2005 Forbes placed the town at the 25th position on its "Best Places" list. In 2007 Country Home magazine ranked La Crosse 12th on its 25 Best Green Cities in America list.

In 1765 Lt. Zebulon Pike lead an expedition along the Mississippi for the United States. He gave the name "Prairie La Crosse" after watching Indians involved in a contest utilizing sticks which were similar to a bishop's crozier or la crosse in the French language. The first non-native settlement was established in 1841 as a fur trading post by Nathan Myrick. The City of La Crosse was incorporated in 1856.

The La Crosse Parks & Recreation Department oversees 45 parks with 1,400 acres and 19,000 boulevard trees in the City of La Crosse.

It has been estimated that less than 50 percent of the vital records, for example, were prepared and submitted for permanent filing prior to 1907. Land deeds, probate, and court records generally begin in Wisconsin with the organization of the county. Prior to that date, check the County or Counties it w as created from. Some counties formed from other counties transcribed their portion of property deeds to be kept with the new' county deed records.

Nelson Dewey was the first territorial governor.

Wisconsin became the 30th slate on May 29, 1848.

The Slate Capital building in Madison w'as completed in 1917.

The first newspaper in Wisconsin was the Intelligencer, a weekly founded in Green Bay in 1933.

The first kindergarten in the U.S. open in 1855 in Watertown and was a German-language school.

The world’s first hydroelectric central station was built in 1882 on the Fox River in Appleton.

The first cheesemaker was a man named Rockwell near Lake Koshkonong in Jefferson Co., in 1837.

The first commercial cheese factory opened at Ladoga (Fond du Lac Co.) in 1864.

The first woman elected to the was Kathryn Morrison in 1974.

The first in Wisconsin was probably interpreter Etienne Brule who, in 1622 or 1623, traveled around Lake Superior at Champlain’s request. Because no account of his trip was written down until after Brule's death, Jean Nicolet, who met with the Ho-Chunk at Red Banks and whose trip was quickly chronicled, is usually called the first European explorer to reach Wisconsin.

Home to 543 lakes, 225 streams, almost 400 miles of trout streams, and 300 spring ponds, Langlade County is perfect for all w ater enthusiasts. Musky, Pike, Bass and Trout are just a few of the fish that Langlade County is known for.

There are many historical stops to make in Langlade County. First, the Langlade County Historical Society’s Museum, is located in Antigo. The main museum building was originally constructed as a Carnegie Library with a $15,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie in 1905. It housed the Antigo Public Library until 1997 when the Library was moved to updated quarters and the building become the Langlade County Historical Society Museum. The Deleglise Cabin, a 1956 caboose and a 440 Locomotive are also located on the grounds of the Langlade County Historical Museum. Another stop located in Antigo is the Spring Brook School located near the Langlade County Fairgrounds on Highway 45.

Several other historical locations include the Elton School Preservation Society's Elton Schoolhousc on Highway 64 near Elton, the Old School Restoration Committee's Old Corners School at Neva Corners and finally the White Lake Area Historical Society on Lake Street in White Lake.

Peshtigo Harbor Wildlife Trails, is a haven of roughly 5,700 acres of state-owned lands are located along the Lower Peshtigo River, south of Peshtigo, Wisconsin. It includes the Peshtigo Harbor State Wildlife Area, and the Bloch Oxbow State Natural Area.

Peshtigo River Trail, a canoe trail that takes you on the same winding path American Indians, early explorers, fur traders, and loggers used as a main “road” for travel and shipment of goods— the river. It combines the adventure of small boat travel with the chance to learn about the area and experience it from the same perspective as people of the past.

The former Peshtigo 1 iarbor and Lumber Mill sites in an area that bustled with activity- from 1867 to 1897. It was the busy lumber mill and sipping port that drew a population of 500. made mostly of workers and their families. Today all that is left are the pier pilings and the shore birds. The boat land found at the end of Harbor Road is near the site of the old lumber mill.

The wildlife in Marinette County is one of the features that sets Marinette County apart from some other areas of the state is the variety and abundance of wildlife In addition to the hundreds of species of migratory birds that call Marinette County home, there are also many mammals and game birds that utilize the wide variety of habitats present.

Whitetail deer, red and gray fox, coyotes, raccoons, weasels, chipmunks, black bears, wild turkeys, beavers, muskrats, gophers, Canada geese, opossum, red and gray squirrels, mice, woodchucks, fishers, ruffed grouse, cottontail rabbits, bobcats, mink, martens, the occasional timber wolf or moose, and numerous other small mammals all call Marinette County home.

Wisconsin & Northwestern Railroad. This railroad began operation in 1889 as the private road of the Bird & Wells Lumber Company of Wausaukee. Bird & Wells operated in the area just west of Wausaukee. In 1892 B&W sold 2.78 miles of track to the Milwaukee.

Wisconsin & Michigan Railway. The first predecessor of the Wisconsin & Michigan was a narrow gauge logging railroad running five miles west from Fisher to Ingalls, MI (on the Menominee River.) In 1894 the W&M was incorporated and 54.1 miles of track were laid between Bageley Junction, in Marinette Co. and Faithorn Junction, (reached in 1895) where the W&M met the SOO. (This included the logging railroad at Ingalls whose gauge was standardized. It became a branchline which was abandoned about 1902.) Trackage rights were obtained on the eight miles of Milwaukee track between Bageley Junction and Marinette. On Sept. 1, 1895 the W&M took over the private rail line of the Peshtigo Lumber Company. Called the Peshtigo 1 Iarbor Railroad it consisted of about eight miles of track between Peshtigo Lumber Company’ mill and a harbor on Lake Michigan.

Area museums in Marinette of interest to genealogists include the Marinette Co. Historical Museum, Stephenson Island; Amberg History Complex, Amberg; Peshtigo Fire Museum, Peshtigo; the Niagara Historical Museum, Niagara; and the Crivitz Area Museum in Crivitz.

Historic Main Street in Oconto has twenty-one historic homes and one church reflect a variety of architectural designs and influences. Many belonged to prominent Oconto business families. A guided tour is available by appointment through the OC'I IS. A self guided walking tour booklet can be obtained at the Oconto Area Chamber of Commerce. Between Erie Avenue and Duncan Lane. National Register of Historic Places, 1979.

The Hydroelectric Dam & Stiles Bridge in Stiles is one of Oconto County’s earliest hydro-electric facilities. The bridge is at the crossing of Old US Highway 141. West of US Highway 141 along Oconto River.

The Lena Museum and Log Cabin located at 118 West Maple Street in Lena features a variety of local history and artifacts including tools and displays of the trapping and logging industry that once dominated the area. The log home was moved to the museum site from a rural farm and gives a realistic look at the rustic living of loggers in the past.

Another museum, the Holt and Balcom Logging Camp Museum at 17067 Club House Lane in Lakewood, is about 1 mi. east of Lakewood on Co. F, next to the McCauslin Brook Golf Course club house. Visit the oldest logging camp in the country still standing where it was built, in 1881. Operated and maintained by the Oconto County Historical Society. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Throughout the centuries, the Boulder Lake Cultural Site in Mountain, has been used first by American Indians, then loggers, and now is part of the Boulder Lake Campground. A trail leads from the boat landing parking area to the site. Interpretive signs will give you a glimpse into the lifeways of the people who once lived in this woodland lake setting. While no visible signs remain from those people who lived here 500 to 1,000 years ago, you will be able to see remnant logging camp structures from the early 1900’s.

The Mountain Fire Lookout Tower is situated two miles north of the community of Mountain in Oconto County, in the Nicolet National Forest. The tower is a galvanized steel structure resting on four concrete piers. An interior stairway rises through the center of the tower to the lookout, or cab, at the top. Prefabricated by the Aermotor Company in 1932, the Mountain Fire Lookout Tower was initially erected by the Wisconsin Conservation Commission at another location in the Nicolet National Forest. In 1935, the tower was moved to its current site.

Located at 632 Main Street in Suring, the Boarding House, a “frontier style” boarding house/saloon was built the year the Chicago and Northeastern Railroad was cutting a line through the virgin pine forest from Gillett, Wl to Wabeno, Wl. It first served as a boarding house for the railway construction workers and later for the crews and lumberjacks who began to harvest the region. The building was constructed by a Menominee Indian from the nearby Menominee reservation in 1896.

Civil War service men from Oconto County served in various regiments. Men often joined a company (within a regiment) that originated in their county. Listed below are many companies or regiments that were formed from men of Oconto County. - 3rd Regiment, Wisconsin Cavalry, Company 1 - 12th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry, Companies F and H

In the bygone days of logging, Gillett was one of the first stops for lumberjacks returning home after a winter of work.

The combination of the Peshtigo Fire, the Pensaukee Tornado, and increasing farming activity essentially ended the lumber industry by the 1880s.

Logging started in the area in the 1870s and continued until the early 1900s. After the trees were all cut down, the land was sold for farms and many resorts sprang up on the numerous lakes. Lumbering and tourism are still the major industries of Sawyer County.

American Birkebeiner Cross-Country Ski Event is North America's largest and most prestigious X-C ski marathon. 10,000 skiers of all ages, genders and nationalities participate in the 50K. Birkebeiner, the 23K Kortelopet, Prince Haakon I2K, the children's Bamebirkie, Junior Birkie, Elite Sprints, and Family Fun Ski. Other fun events include the Barkie Birkie Skijour and Giant Ski Competition.

The Hayward/Cable Area is proud of the variety of beautifully manicured golf courses in Northwest Wisconsin. Course designs provide enjoyment and challenge for avid and amateur golfers alike. All are designed for strategic play laid amid the woods.

The county is named for Philetus Sawyer, a New England man who represented Wisconsin in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate in the 19th century. Logging began in the late 1850s. Loggers came from Cortland County, New York, Carroll County, New Flampshire, Orange County, Vermont and Down East Maine in what is now Washington County, Maine and Hancock County, Maine. These were "Yankee" migrants, that is to say they were descended from the English Puritans w'ho had settled New England during the 1600s. They were mostly members of the Congregational Church. In the 1890s immigrants came from a variety of countries such as Germany, Norway, Poland, Ireland and Sweden.

The Lumberjack World Championships® began in 1960 as a way to acknowledge the rich history of the logging industry across the United States. Work day skills that were perfected in the forests of the nation became a past-time and soon grew into an exciting and growing sporting event. From the Lumberjack World Championships®, now trademarked in Hayward, Wisconsin, to the ESPN's Great Outdoor Games, lumberjack sports has increased in popularity with loyal fans and competitors from across the globe.

Hayward, Wisconsin, rich in both history and natural beauty, holds its lumberjack championships in what was once a giant holding pond for logs of Weyerhaeuser's North Wisconsin Lumber Company. The people of Hayward embrace this rich history each summer with hundreds of volunteers and community support making this a world class event for thousands of visitors.

The residents of Sawyer county today are prosiac Americans who have almost forgotten their origins, whether Anglo-Saxons fromthe Colonies, German, Scandinavian, or other new immigrants, or Canadians. However, when we scan a census of what is now Wisconsin for 1820 and 1850 and see the names Trepanier, Denome, Gauthier (Gokey), Cadotte, LaRush, Demarais, Bellile, and many others, we need not be amazed that one time French was the European langauage most commonly heard here.

The Vernon County 1 listorical Society operates four historical sites: The Vernon County Museum, Old St. Mary's Church Museum, the Foreaker One Room Schoolhouse and historic Sherry-Butt House. The Vernon County Museum located at 410 S. Center Avenue in Viroqua, built during 1918 and 1919, was a training school for teachers. The Teachers College or "County Normal School" as it was called, was under the jurisdiction of the County Board of Supervisors. The students were required to complete a one-year program until 1937 when it was changed to a two-year course. As part of the program, a (Model) School, was included for future teachers to work with actual students until 1965. In 1972 only four year college degreed teachers were being licensed. Therefore the teachers college was closed after graduating nearly 2,000 teachers. No permanent use was made of the building until 1989 when it was purchased by the Vernon County I listorical Society to be used as a museum. Today the Historical Society has a genealogy and local history research area, and exhibits including the tobacco exhibit, an important agricultural product in Vernon County lor many years, and the Astronaut Mark Lee Space exhibit. St. Mary's Catholic Church, 606 W. Broadway St., Viroqua was dedicated in the summer of 1908 on this original site. St. Mary's remained a mission church attached to the Rising Sun parish for the next forty years before becoming an independent parish in 1947. The Foreaker School, 606 W. Broadway St., Viroqua was built in 1888 by James Mankin for S395. The one-room school operated until 1960 when it was closed due to low' attendance and consolidation of schools. Lt. Col. Cyrus M. Butt built one of Viroqua's oldest homes in the federal style in 1890, after his valiant service in the Civil War. The Sherry-Butt House is located at 795 N Main St., Viroqua.

More than 12,000 years ago, an immense flow of glacial ice sculpted a landscape of remarkable beauty across Wiscon¬ sin. As the glacier retreated, it left behind a variety of unique landscape features. These glacial remnants are now con¬ sidered among the world’s finest examples of how continental glaciation sculpts our planet.

The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath that highlights these landscape features as it travels through some of the state’s most beautiful natural areas. The Trail is entirely within Wisconsin and is one of only eleven National Scenic Trails.

But the is more than a path through the woods. It is a place for mental and physical rejuvenation, a place to unwind after a hard day and enjoy the landscape of Wisconsin. More than 1 million people use the Ice Age Trail each year to hike and snowshoe, to backpack, to disconnect and reconnect.

Ice Age Trail Facts: The Trail is managed by a partnership among the , the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Ice Age Trail Alliance.

The Trail is not yet complete. More than 600 miles are yellow-blazed Ice Age Trail segments, and more than 500 miles of unmarked connecting routes link the blazed segments. The entire route is about 1,200 miles long.

The Trail’s western terminus is in Interstate State Park in St. Croix Falls, Polk County. It overlooks the St. Croix River and our neighbors in Minnesota.

The frail’s eastern terminus is in in Sturgeon Bay, Door County.

The Ice Age Trail is built and maintained largely by volunteers.

Most of the blazed Ice Age Trail Segments fit hikers’ ideas of a traditional, off-road hiking experience. Some segments, however, lead hikers right down the main streets of Wisconsin communities. This is by design - the Ice Age Trail is meant to connect people and communities.

The Ice Age Trail began in the 1950s as the dream of Milwaukeean Ray Zillmcr, who had a vision of a long, linear park winding through Wisconsin along the glacier’s terminal moraine.

The Trail crosses over many ownership types, including private land, city parks, state parks, county forests and national forest.

The Trail travels through 31 counties.

One of the goals of the Ice Age Trail Alliance is to permanently protect the route of the Ice Age Trail.

The Ice Age Trail does not exist through its beauty and magic alone. It takes a dedicated work force of more than 2,000 volunteers from across the Upper Midwest to build and maintain this space for personal growth.

The name Winnebago is of Algonquin origin and means 'people dwelling by the fetid or ill-smelling water', which may refer to a sulfur spring.

What do the names Frank, Katie, Monty, Rudy, Ardy, Ed, and Gus have in common? In the 1950’s, even if life wasn’t really simpler and music wasn’t really easier to dance to, there’s a good chance that food really was tastier and you really were on a first name basis with the guy or gal behind the counter. And so, these great first names in Wisconsin food and fun have gone to great lengths to recapture those glory days of the better burger and the creamier milkshake at their 1950’s style diners and drive-ins.

The Fox River led early Frcnch-Canadian explorers and later American settlers to the west shore of Lake Winnebago. In the 1840 census Winnebago County had 135 inhabitants; by 1850 about 10,000 had been added to that number. In addition to Yankees, there were communities of Swiss in the Town of Black Wolf, Welsh in Towns of Nekimi and Utica, and Norwegians in the Towns of Winchester, Wolf River and Clayton. German settlers were scattered throughout the county.

Some interesting published Winnebago County histories include; Pioneer life in the Fox River Valley by Annie McLenegan. This short study connects the history of the counties and communities on the lower Fox River: Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago Counties.
