History

A street named "Watertown Plank Road" survives in Milwaukee. The bonds were sold by the original investors to out-of-town speculators at a small fraction of their face value. 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. 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. The city is the home of the first kindergarten in the United States, started by German immigrants; the building that housed this kindergarten is now located on the grounds of the Octagon House (Watertown, Wisconsin) House Museum in Watertown.
