TOWN HISTORIES

Manitowoc County Villages and Towns in 1895

As I find information on the towns, I will create a page for them.
Until then, only the ones I have will be turned on as a link.

Please Note:
 	If no population was listed in 1895, I put Unincorporated.

	If the town might have existed but was not listed on the population index
	for 1895, I put Not Listed.

	If the town was known to be established after 1895, I put the year of 
	establishment or Aft. 1895, if unknown.

	For those villages that do not have a township listed, the township has 
	not been identified.

	If the word yes is linked in the Post Office Column, there is further information 
	on the Post Office Page about that Post Office.


	Some of the villages listed were not found on maps.  The location given
	was based on the location of landmarks with a similar name.

For a chronology of the establishment of town(ships), see here.
