The territorial legislature incorporated the Milwaukee and Rock River Canal company in 1836, but the plan was abandoned in 1848. Watertown is a city in Dodge County, Wisconsin and Jefferson County, Wisconsin Counties in the US state of Wisconsin. Growth of the city was substantially hampered when Watertown issued almost half a million dollars in bonds to support the building of two Rail transport to town to encourage further growth: the Chicago & Fond du Lac Company and the Milwaukee, Watertown & Madison Road. Its 2007 estimated population is 23,301.

In 1853, a plank road was completed from Milwaukee to Watertown. The bonds were sold by the original investors to out-of-town speculators at a small fraction of their face value.
