Hartford History
Hartford is located in both Washington and Dodge Counties. The area that later became Hartford was first surveyed by Nicolas Simon and John Thiel in 1843. In 1844, a dam was constructed across the rapids in the Rubicon River. A sawmill was built to harness the power that is generated from the flow of the water in order to produce lumber. Railway lines were laid in 1855, connecting Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis and La Crosse. It is said that the community was named after Hartford, Connecticut. However, the community may have received its name from a nearby heart-shaped lake.
