Wisconsin became a territory in 1836 and originally encompassed all of what is now Marathon, Lincoln
and Oneida Counties
and parts of others – stretching all the way up to Lake Superior. An 1836 treaty transferred
ownership along the Wisconsin River from Native American tribes to federal ownership. The Wisconsin River
was the main attraction that drew settlers to this area.
At the time the area was known as “Big Bull Falls” by Native Americans and fur traders because of its rapid waters.
The first known European to enter Wisconsin was a French coureur des bois Jean Nicolet.[1]
In 1634, Samuel de Champlain, governor of New France, gave Nicolet the task of searching for a water route to
China through Lake Superior.
The next major expedition into Wisconsin was that of Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet in 1673.
After hearing rumors from Indians telling of the existence of the Mississippi River, Marquette and Joliet set out from
St. Ignace, in what is now Michigan, and entered the Fox River at Green Bay. They canoed up the Fox until they reached
the river’s westernmost point, and then portaged, or carried their boats, to the nearby Wisconsin River, where they
resumed canoeing downstream to the Mississippi River. Marquette and Joliet reached the Mississippi
near what is now Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin in June, 1673.
