About Cedarburg, WI

The land that became Cedarburg was originally inhabited by the Potawatomi and Sauk tribes of Native Americans. The Potawatomi surrendered their land the United States Federal Government in 1833 through the Treaty of Chicago, which required them to leave Wisconsin by 1838. The first white settlement in the Cedarburg area was a community called "New Dublin," which later became Hamilton in the town of Cedarburg. The first resident was Joseph Gardenier, who built a log shanty on Cedar Creek as his headquarters for surveying for the construction of the Green Bay Road. In 1848, Hamilton became the first stop on the stagecoach route between Milwaukee and Green Bay.
