The first settlers were Cornish lead miners; they were followed by settlers from New England, Ireland, Switzerland, and Norway. The town has been the home of a Lutheran and a Catholic parish. "Saint Francis Catholic Church" was made by "Catholic immigrants" from Ireland, but later the parish merged with "Saint Joseph Catholic Church" in Argyle, Wisconsin and the church was eventually torn down; only the cemetery remains intact.
