Early immigrants to Watertown were mostly from New England, but in the 1850s, more and more Germans made Watertown their home. In fact, German immigration to the area was so significant that by 1917 seventy to eighty percent of the population in the county was of German heritage. Lots of great Wisconsin history in this historic location! Images are from the Wisconsin Historical Society, University of Wisconsin Digital Collections, and UW-Milwaukee Digital Collections.
