History
The Ho-Chunk chief Glory of the Morning lived in a village on Doty Island in the 18th and 19th centuries.[3]
It was given the name Doty Island after James Duane Doty (1799–1865), Governor of the Wisconsin Territory (1841–1844),[4][5] and a two-term member of Congress (1849–1853). Following his service in the nation's capital, Doty retired to his "Grand Loggery" home on the island near its southern shore, in present-day Doty Park in Neenah.
