About Independence, WI

Unless otherwise noted, the history below is taken from Gamroth (1976). Independence is in the Town of Burnside, which corresponds with one of the townships created under the Land Ordinance of 1785. Shortly after the naming of Burnside in 1863, settlers from Europe and the Eastern United States began arriving in significant numbers. The city of Independence owes its existence to a railroad and a man named David M. Kelly.
