Two days later, January 6, the Town of Menasha was set off from Neenah, and organ- ized. (See Town of Menasha.)
In November, 1856, representations hav- ing been made to the Board of Supervisors, that no suitable place could be found for hold- ing court, Mr. Markham, one of the mem- bers, submitted a resolution for the appoint- ment of a committee of five, to enquire into the expediency of erecting county buildings, to procure plans, specifications and estimates; and to enquire into, and report as to the proper manner of raising funds therefor. This reso- lution was adopted November 13, 1856, and Messrs. William Markham, Theodore Schintz, Andrew Merton, Charles Weisbrod, and C. L. Rich were appointed such commit- tee. January 15, 1857, the committee recom- mended a plan, and the erection of buildings this year, provided they do not cost over twenty-five hundred dollars. *
This report being adopted, proposals were received, and on the fourth of March following a resolution was adopted letting the contract to A. V. Parker, the lowest bidder, for the sum of $23,975. Nothing further seems to have been done towards the final consummation of this enterprise, until January 28, 1859, when a resolution was adopted by the Board of Supervisors, to appoint a committee of three to enter into a contract for the erec- tion of county buildings, and superintend the same, limited to a cost of fifteen thousand dol- lars. Messrs Eli Stilson, of . the Oshkosh Assembly District, D. K. Pingborn, of the North District, and G. Miller, of the South District, were appointed, and on the 29th of January, a resolution was adopted "that the contract with A. V. Parker, in relation to county buildings (if any exist, or ever did exist) is hereby declared void, and the said Parker is hereby notified to that effect."
November 17, 1859, the committee reported "that they had let the contract for building the court house and jail for a sum not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars, and over twelve thous- and if the work was completed. " The con- tracts were made March 25, 1859, for masonry with A. W. Parker; carpentcry with Sharpe & Fitzgerald; iron work with Moore and Wells. A resolution was adopted November 18, 1859, to raise twenty-three hundred dollars additional

The laws relating to county government, have, from the first organization of the terri- tory, received their full share of attention, and scarcely a legislative session has passed during that time, without additions, alterations, or repeals in some form; often of little or no con- sequence, while occasionally the whole system has undergone a change.
The original law, of December 6, 1836, pro- vided that there should be but one town in each county ; that three supervisors should per- form the functions of town and county govern- ment. In December, 1837, a law was enacted for the organization of a county board in each county, called a Board of Commissioners, to consist of three persons, to be elected at the general election. This system of three com- missioners seems to have prevailed (with vari- ous changes as to powers and duties) until 1841.
February 18, of that year, an act was approved providing that the chairman of the Board of Supervisors of each town shall meet at some place within the county, and shall con- stitute a county board of supervisors, and in cases where there was but one town in the county, the supervisors of the town should also officiate as county board.
It was not until 1847 that Winnebago County could boast of more than one town, and to that time was consequently governed by three supervisors.
By act approved March 8, 1861, that sys- tem was abolished, and providing for the elec- tion of three supervisors in each county, except when there are three or more assembly dis- tricts in the county, when one supervisor shall be elected from each assembly district, and in case of an even number of districts, a super- visor at large.
Again, March 16, 1870, an act was approved repealing the last-mentioned law, reviving and reinstating the previous law, authorzing the chairman of each town board, and supervis- ors from cities, duly authorized, to constitute a county board.
CHAPTER XXXVIII.
State, County and Town Organization - Incorporation of the Cities of this County.
HE following list shows the political subdivisions of the county. To make it complete and convenient for refer- ence, the date of territorial, state and county organizations, with the extin- guishment of Indian title to all the land in the limits of the county, and the organiza- tion of each town, in its regular order, is given. This last will be found valuable, as it is the only one which gives a full list of the organi- zation of the towns in this county; the county records being defective.
STATE ORGANIZATION.
Territory of Wisconsin, organized July 4, 1836.
State of Wisconsin admitted into the Union May 29, 1848.
Towns of Winnebago and Buttes des Morts were organized in pursuance of act of Territor- ial Legislature, March 8, 1839.
COUNTY ORGANIZATION.
Winnebago County set off from Brown County, by act of Territorial Legislature, approved January 6, 1840, and commissioners appointed by same act to select a location for county seat.
The territory now constituting the County of Winnebago, the Indian title to which was extinguished at various dates and obtained by the United States from different sources, was acquired and offered for sale in something like the following order:
At a treaty held at Rock Island, February 13, 1833. the Winnebagoes ceded that portion lying east of Lower Fox River; including Doty's Island, being Sections 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 23, and the fraction of 3, Town 20, Range 17, which was offered for sale August 31, 1835; also, all that portion of the county lying south of Fox River, viz: Township 17, Ranges 14, 15, 16 and 17; Towns 18 and 19, Range 15; and Town 18, Ranges 14 and 16, south of the river; offered for sale in June and November, 1838.
September 3, 1836, the Menominees relin- quished their claim, at the Cedar Rapids Treaty, to all that portion north of Fox River and Lake Winnebago, and east of Wolf River. In April, 1840, a portion of this (the greater portion) was placed in market, viz: Town- ship 18, Range 17; Township 19, Ranges 16 and 17; and so much of Township 18, Range 16, Township 19, Range 15, and Township 20,

Range 14, as lay within the prescribed limits; also, Town 20, Range 15 and 16.
October 2, 1843, all that portion of Town- ship 20, Range 17, not before offered for sale or reserved (Winnebago Rapids Reserva- tion, see City of Neenah), was offered for sale for two weeks, and all that was not sold at that time was withdrawn from market.
January 12, 1846, all lands in Township 20, Range 17, previously offered (August 31, 1835, and October 2, 1843), and not sold were now offered at private entry; the sale of 1835 being an auction sale, to the highest bidder.
October 18, 1848, the Government obtained the title to all lands belonging to the Menom- inees within the State, and included Town- ship 18, Range 14, north of Fox River; Town- ship 19, Range 15, north of the Fox and west of the Wolf Rivers; Township 20, Range 14, west of Wolf River, and Township 19, Range 14, previously known as the Indian lands, and which was offered for sale in November, 1852.
The earliest dates that titles could be obtained and the consequent inducements to settlers, is thus indicated.

NOTE - In the early days of the organization of the county it was attached to Brown or Fond du Lac county for judicial purposes, and with Calumet, Fond du Lac and Marquette counties, forming a probate district. Under this order of affairs, Mason C. Darling of Fond du Lac County was voted for for Probate Judge ; in 1843 Seth Reese and John J. Driggs, (prob ably from Brown County), for the office of Sheriff at the same election, May 1, 1843. In 1844 Samuel L. Brooks was a can- didate for District Attorney. In 1846 Henry Conklin and John Bannister, both of Fond du Lac County, were candidates for the office of Probate Judge, and in 1847 Walter H. Weed, of Oshkosh, for the same office. These were all voted for in this county, but as we have no record from other counties we are unable to determine whether they were elected. Under the territorial form of government this county was attached to several others in forming senatorial and assembly districts, but at the first session of the State Legislature in 1848, Winnebago County sent one Member of Assembly.
