About Platteville, WI

Platteville was a small farming and fur trading community established by European Americans along the Platte River, after which they named the town. In the 1820s, after lead ore or Galena was discovered in the area, a mining boom took the area by storm. The mining district eventually encompassed a significant portion of southwest Wisconsin, including the counties of Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette; and Jo Daviess County, Illinois. These were central to the exploitation and mining of lead and zinc ore. The Galena, Illinois mining district, an area south of Platteville, had been known to many for years.
