History

The Milwaukee and Watertown Railroad, as it was called before it extended to Madison, was completed in 1855, only the second line in the state. The success of the plank road convinced residents that a railroad would be even more beneficial, and bonds were issued from 1853 to 1855. Its 2007 estimated population is 23,301.

In 1853, a plank road was completed from Milwaukee to Watertown. Moreover, the city did not feel compelled to do so because the creditors (those who held interests in the bonds) were not only from out of town, but weren't even the original holders. A canal from Milwaukee to the Watertown area was once planned, but was replaced by railroad before any work had been completed, other than a dam in Milwaukee.
