Four flags have flown over this area: Spanish, French, English and American. This was part of the original Northwest Territory and was contained inside the borders of three states. Eight different Indian nations have lived on Chequamegon Bay. Later settlers included European explorers, missionaries and fur traders, and more recently the Yankees who platted and developed the lands, the railroaders, shippers, loggers, entrepreneurs and settlers.

All the people who came here seemed to have envisioned something special. They were optimists, opportunists, people of stubborn courage who braved harsh winters and primitive conditions to build a good life.
