History

Kewaunee was the site of a Potawatomi village at the time of European contact in the seventeenth century.[4] French Jesuit missionary Jacques Marquette celebrated All Saints Day at the Potawatomi village in 1674.[4][5]Template:Rp Later, French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle visited the village in 1679,[6]Template:Rp and Canadian Jesuit Jean-François Buisson de Saint-Cosme stopped in September 1698.Template:R The Potawatomis moved south and east along Lake Michigan in the eighteenth century,[7] and the area was reclaimed by Menominee people. Trader Jacques Vieau established a short lived trading post for the North West Company in the area of Kewaunee in 1795.[8]Template:Rp The United States acquired the land from the Menominee nation in the 1831 Treaty of Washington.[9]

The current settlement at Kewaunee began in 1836, when false rumors of gold deposits in the Kewaunee River triggered a minor gold rush of Yankee settlers. Land speculator Joshua Hathaway surveyed and platted the settlement. When no gold was found, the settlers who remained established a sawmill and developed the local harbor for the lumber industry.[10]Template:Rp Kewaunee became the county seat of Kewaunee County at the time of the county's formation in 1852. In the late nineteenth century, the community attracted many Czech and German immigrants.[4]
