History
In the early 19th century when the first white settlers arrived in Southeastern Wisconsin, the Potawatomi and Menominee Native Americans inhabited the land now occupied by the Town of Addison. In 1831, the Menominee surrendered their claims to the land to the United States Federal Government through the Treaty of Washington. The Potawatomi surrendered their land claims in 1833 through the 1833 Treaty of Chicago, which (after being ratified in 1835) required them to leave the area by 1838.Шаблон:Sfn While many Native people moved west of the Mississippi River to Kansas, some chose to remain, and were referred to as "strolling Potawatomi" in contemporary documents because many of them were migrants who subsisted by squatting on their ancestral lands, which were now owned by white settlers. Eventually the Potawatomi who evaded forced removal gathered in northern Wisconsin, where they formed the Forest County Potawatomi Community.[1]
The first white settlers were farmers who arrived in 1843 and 1844. The Town of Addison incorporated on January 21, 1846. At the time, it included the land that would become the Town of Wayne, which was partitioned from Addison on March 11, 1848.Шаблон:Sfn Many of the early settlers were German immigrants who operated crop and dairy farms.[2]
Several small unincorporated hamlets formed in Addison, the largest of which is Allenton. Located on the east branch of the Rock River, the community formed in 1882 around a depot of the Wisconsin Central Railroad.[2] In its early years, the hamlet provided a market for farmers to sell their produce, a bank, and a sawmill.Шаблон:Sfn
