RAILROADS AND TELEGRAPHS.
TH THE advent of railroads had a marked influence in developing the resources of the county. The first to enter it was the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad, which was built through Whitewater and beyond as far west as Milton during the year 1852. This road was continued to Stoughton, in 1853, and through to Prairie du Chien in 1856. It was afterward known as the Milwaukee & Prairie du Chien Railroad till merged into the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Railway. It is now designated as the Prairie du Chien Division of that road. Whitewater was the first town in the county to derive advantages from railroad facilities, which, in con- nection with the manufacturing enterprises that centered there soon after, made it the leading village of the county, both in size and commercial importance, and it has maintained its su- premacy ever since.
This road was first incorporated as the Milwaukee & Waukesha Railroad Company and was organized November 23, 1847. At that time its terminus was undecided. The Milwau- keeans were only seeking to open some more reliable avenue than the muddy roads of those days provided with the interior tributary country. The charter was subsequently amended, empowering the company to build the road to the Mississippi River, in Grant County, and its name changed to the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company. After many trials on the part of the projectors of the road, it was completed to Waukesha in 1851. The money of the company realized on bonds of the City of Milwaukee, was expended on this twenty miles, and for farther extension the directors depended largely on subscriptions and loans of town credit along the line of the proposed road. The location of the route at that time was to be deter- mined not so much by the engineers as by the amount of subscriptions and aid that could be obtained along within hailing distance on either side of a direct line to the Mississippi. It was said that the directors were ready to build the road in any direction from Waukesha that led away from Lake Michigan and toward Grant County, provided sufficiently liberal local in- ducements were held out. Strong efforts were made to establish the route south of its present location, through Mukwonago, East Troy and thence on to Janesville, nearly over the line of the old stage road. Neither the advantages nor disadvantages of a railroad were then so well understood as they have come to be since that time. Sentiment was far from unanimous in its favor among the inhabitants of the towns along the proposed route at the outset, and, as the subject was discussed, a strong feeling of opposition was developed. It was claimed that the immense travel over the highway would cease, that the tavern business would be ruined and the villages along the line would cease to flourish: that there would be no further use for horses, etc., etc .-- in fact, they gave the innovation the cold shoulder, and allowed the road to be built farther north, through Eagle and Palmyra. They. however, sought to hold the travel and traffic over the old route by improving the thoroughfare. A plank road was projected over the whole route, and built from Milwaukee as far as Mukwonago. The efforts of the conserva- tives did not avail against the railroad, and the main travel and traffic over the thoroughfare fell off, being diverted to the railroads as soon as they were built, leaving the old stage road desert- ed, except by the stage and mail lines, which still go over it together with the local travel. Thus the fears of the old tavern-keepers were realized through the competition they feared, al- though its route was not established through their towns. In a certain way, this early victory re-acted disastrously to the towns. The sudden growth of Whitewater after the railroad reached that point, created a revulsion of popular feeling, and the advantages of railway communication came to be as much over-rated as they had been formerly decried. So, when the project was
