Since the former Miller property is just to the north, one or both of these lakes were on or very near Louis Miller's land The Miller family in West Bend, Washington County (formerly combined with Ozaukee County until 1853) has had it's name listed several ways, appearing first as Müller with or w/o the umlaut, Muiller, Mueller, and finally, Miller. When Louis, son of William and Apollonia, was born in 1882 his parents were listed as Whillhelm and Abblone Müller. History Washington County is within the southeastern quarter of the state, the most populous and urban section of Wisconsin. It contains 432 square miles, 13 townships, (Addison, Barton, Erin, Farmington, Germantown, Hartford, Jackson, Kewaskum, Polk, Richfield, Trenton, Wayne and West Bend), five villages (Germantown, Jackson, Kewaskum, Newburg and Slinger), and two Cities (Hartford and West Bend), plus "urban sprawl" from Milwaukee. TOWNSHIPS COMMUNITIES
PAST AND PRESENT The first white men to reach the area were Marquette and Joliet, who stopped at the mouth of Sauk Creek in 1673 and may have planted a cross on top of Holy Hill. LaSalle and Hennepin were at Sauk Creek in 1679. Around 1700, a Jesuit missionary, Joseph J. Marest, spent the winter there, probably, the first white man to live here. In 1818 S.A. Storrow, Judge Advocate of the United States Army, passed through as he returned from Green Bay to Ft. Dearborn (Chicago). Settlement began in the 1830s, when British-Americans, mainly from New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, came north along the Milwaukee River and what later became the Green Bay Road. They found friendly Indians thinly scattered, because they needed the wildlife of the forests for food and clothing. Winnebagoes (of the Sioux nation) claimed the Rock River Valley before the memory of the Algonquins, including Potowatomies, Sacs (Sauks and Ozaukis), and Menominees, who had villages and camps at the sites of Grafton, Cedarburg, Thiensville, Newburg, Waubeka, Saukville, Port Washington, West Bend, Kewaskum, Pike Lake, Little Cedar Lake, and Monches. The earliest people in Washington County were Mound Builders. Evidence of their presence are the effigy mounds found north of West Bend on CTH A. Following the Mound Builders, the Menominees and Potowatomie Nations settled throughout Washington County, primarily around Pike Lake. In 1838, the Menominees, who held sway over the county, were removed by United States treaty to land west of the Mississippi River; but many returned. In 1859, Kewaskum was Chief of the Potowatomies and an honored friend of Desmore Maxon of the First Wisconsin Legislature. Waubeka was Chief over about 100 Sauks, and Chief Monches ruled the Menominees here and southward in Waukesha County. The first permanent settlements in what is now Washington County were at Germantown, where Anton G. Wiesner and Levi Ostrander came in 1839. By 1845, all of that township had been taken. Michael Lynch was first to settle in Erin in 1841; and all of that had been bought by 1846. Samuel Spivey purchased a tract in Richfield in 1841; but Jacob Snyder, also in 1841, was first to live there. The village was started by Philipp Laubenheimer in 1842. A Canadian named Jehiel Case was a squatter at Hartford, without government title, before Timothy Hall came in 1843. The area was called Wayne, Benton, and Wright before being named Hartford. James and George Rossman and Nic Simon started the city in 1844. In 1843, Alfred Ohrendorf was the only settler in Addison, John McDonald and Peter Devereau were in Jackson, and James Williamson was in Polk; but Densmore Maxon, a surveyor, lived next to Chief Kewaskum in Cedar Creek in 1844. William P. Barnes was one of the first settlers of the Town of Kewaskum (first called North Bend) in 1844. He went on to become the Assessor. J.H. Myers started the village in 1852. Farmington was first called Clarence by the founders, Amasa Curtis and Elijah Westover, in 1845. That same year B. Schleisingerweil started a store at Schleisingerville, which kept that name until the railroad came in 1855, bringing merchants Lehman Rosenheimer and John Pick, and shortening the name to Slinger in 1921. Although Bela Wilcox bought the first 80 acres in the Town of Barton, its first pioneer was Barton Salisbury, who came in 1845 to what was then Newark. Barton Salisbury established the village of Salisbury Mills and was so influential that in 1853 both the township and village were named Barton. In 1848, Barton Salisbury fell to his death while helping build the Webster House in Newburg. The first land entry in West Bend was made in 1839 by Martin Otis Walker; but in 1845, when the Legislature authorized a new road from Milwaukee to Fond du Lac, Commissioners Byron Kilbourn (the other founder of Milwaukee), James Kneeland, and E.B. Wolcott found only a squatter named E.N. Higgins living in a shack at the bend in the river. The four men shared the village site of 720 acres, for which $900.00 was paid. Kilbourn suggested the name of West Bend; and later that year Isaac Verbeck named the stream which went through the present Badger Middle School grounds Battle Creek. By 1848, the village had about 30 families, none of them on the east side of the river. In 1853, Kilbourn, Wightman, Kneeland, Wolcott, and their wives legally gave the square of ground where the present Old Jail and Courthouse Annex are located to the county as a park to be used for public purposes forever; and in 1856, the first County Fair was held there. Fillmore was begun by Christian Beger, and Wayne by Alexander W. Stow and Konrad Schleicher in 1846. Jackson was begun by Franz Reis in 1848. Mayfield got its name from the Swiss founder, Andreas Reiderer in 1851 but was later known as Katzbach for Joseph Katz. At Young America, the mill built in 1851 by Morris Wait burned to the ground, was rebuilt, but burned again in 1857. Until then it was sending extra fine flour to Milwaukee, and the first iron bridge north of Milwaukee was in use there. The only resident of Boltonville in 1854 was Harlow Bolton, and Allenton did not come into existence until Wisconsin Central Railway came through in the 1880s and opened Dekorra Station there. [http://www.co.washington.wi.us/_private/oneline.html]COUNTY SEAT The act of organizing the county provided that the location of the seat of justice should be determined by a vote of the people, which resulted in its location at Hamburg, now Grafton, Ozaukee County, where it nominally remained until an act of the legislature in January 1847 located it at Port Washington for five years. By an order of the Board of Commissioners, the courts had been previously held there, while the different officials kept their offices at their respective residences in various parts of the county. After numerous changes, in March of 1853 a bill was passed for the division of the County and the creation of Ozaukee County from its eastern portion, fixing the County Seat of Washington County at West Bend, providing for the complete organization and establishment of both County organizations and the removal and transcribing of records and other matters. The first county buildings consisted of a frame court house, jail and jailor's house built in 1854. A fireproof building for the county offices was completed in 1857. The total cost of these buildings was $10,000. In 1889, the old frame courthouse was moved to Main Street and served as a hardware store for many years. This was replaced with the building located in the Court House Square, now known as Courthouse Annex I. Total cost of the building was $46,369. The new courthouse was built in 1962 and the cost of the building and furnishings was slightly less than $1,800,000. On March 29, 1980 an addition to this Courthouse and a new building entitled Law Enforcement/Corrections Building, housing the Sheriff's Department and Jail, were dedicated following a two year construction period. Total cost of the Courthouse addition and Law Enforcement/Corrections Building was approximately $6,500,000. History taken in part from: Early History of Ozaukee County The organization of Ozaukee County was affected by an act of the Legislature passed March 7, 1853. The county contains an area of only 232 square miles, the smallest in the state and is made up of seven townships. They are Belgium, Cedarburg, Fredonia, Grafton, Mequon, Port Washington and Saukville. The name Ozaukee is of Indian derivation. It means "yellow earth" and is descriptive of the sand and clay soil of the county. Among the early settlers who came into the county were the Yankees from the east who came into the settled communities to establish business, to practice their professions and to become the early political leaders. Abraham Lincoln, as a young lawyer looking for a suitable location to establish an office, visited this territory and stopped at Port Washington for a short time. Leland Stanford, a lawyer, practiced his profession here between 1848 and 1852. After being defeated for the office of district attorney, he became discouraged and left for California where he became governor of the state and with his wealth founded Stanford University. However, the real pioneers into the county were the hardy and thrifty people from Germany, Luxemburg, Belgium and Ireland who went into the wild forest lands to develop agriculture, build homes, churches and schools. Each people preferred certain sections of the county and settled in groups so that even today we know the Luxemburgers are from the Town of Belgium, the Germans from Cedarburg, and the Irish from Fredonia and Mequon. More history here: History of Ozaukee County by Don Silldorff - Other than one or two transient fur traders the only residents of Ozaukee County before 1835, were Potawatomi and Menominee Indians.
