Village of Barton History

In 1845 early settler Barton Salisbury, while on a surveying trip up the Milwaukee River, found a rapids that he believed would be a good source of power for a sawmill. He built a log hut on the west side of the river and the Village of Barton was born. On November 1, 1961, the city of West Bend annexed the Village of Barton.
