Take a look back into the history of Prairie Du Chien at the Wisconsin genealogy website. The borough (township or town) of Prairie du Chien was created in 1821 and continued in existence until 1828, when it was superseded by the town of St. Anthony, which included the whole of Crawford county, the dimensions of which were very large. The town of St. Anthony continued until 1849, when the town/county was divided into four towns, one of which was called the town of Prairie du Chien. It included nearly the entire county as at present circumscribed. Since that date it has been shorn of territory until in 1872 it was reduced to the present limits. It is bounded on the north by the town of Eastman, on the west by the town of Wauzeka, on the south by the town of Bridgeport and the city of Prairie du Chien and on the west by the Mississippi river and comprises parts of town 7, of ranges 6 and 7 west. This is a basic history of the town covering up until the years of 1885. It contans many names, completely searchable by a sitewide search.
