Description

Madison, State capital of Wisconsin, county seat of Dane County 1885. Beck & Pauli, litho.

Bird's-eye view map of Madison, Wisconsin, published by Norris, Wellge & Co. in 1885, reprint. Madison was selected as the capitol of the newly created Wisconsin Territory in November, 1836, when the city was still in the planning stages. Former federal judge James Duane Doty purchased the land earlier that year, and platted two cities on the more than one thousand acre parcel he had purchased. While Doty lobbied aggressively to have his new city selected as the capitol of the territory, it was the location of the proposed city that brought about the decision, being halfway between Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien, and central to northeastern Green Bay and the lead mining regions in the southwest. He named one of the platted cities Madison, after President James Madison who had only recently died, on June 28, 1836. He also gave the streets of Madison the names of the other 39 signers of the constitution.

The first capitol building was built in 1837. When Wisconsin became a state in 1848, Madison remained its capitol. The original capitol building was replaced in 1863. The University of Wisconsin-Madison was established in 1849. The railroad arrived in 1854, beginning with the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad, later known as the Milwaukee Railroad.

"Union Corners", the intersection of Milwaukee, East Washington, Winnebago and North streets, was the site of a tavern that was the last stop before Union troops left Madison to join the fight during the Civil War.
