History

In 1845, Nathan H. Strong (1813–1852) became the first resident of what is today Berlin.[1] He was joined by Hugh G. Martin, Hiram Barnes, and William Dickey. Their settlement was known as Strong's Landing.[1] In 1848 a post office was established. It was named Berlin after the capital of Prussia, now the capital of Germany.[2] The first school house was built in 1850 and the first church in 1851. Berlin was incorporated as a city in 1857.

Wisconsin's commercial cranberry industry was started in the Berlin area, as well as the first milk condensing factory in the mid-west, Carnation Company.[3] From the mid-1860’s to the 1990’s Berlin was called “the fur and leather city” due to its industry.[4] These industries provided jobs and attracted immigrants from Scotland, Wales, Poland, and Italy to work.[5]

Pronunciation

Area residents put the accent on the first syllable of Berlin Шаблон:IPAc-en rather than on the second. It has been said that this was in reaction to the anti-German sentiment that swept across the United States during World War I, and that the accent was previously on the second syllable.[6][7]
