The Naming of Wisconsin Counties

The Naming of Wisconsin Counties
Lafayette County was named in
honor of Marquis de Lafayette, the
young French nobleman, who by his
generous assistance to the Revolu-
tionary patriots, Won the lasting
gratitude of America. His able cam
paign against CORVALLIS in Virginia,
which made possible the latter's cap
ture at Yorktown, his diplomatic
services to the young Republic at
the Court of France, and his Staunch
supports of General Washington
against intriguing foes, are among his
greatest services to the struggling
land for which he drew his chivalric
sword.
Langlade county was named for
Charles Langlade, at one time erron-
eously considered the first settler of
Wisconsin. Langlade was born at
Mackinac in 1929 and removed to
Green Bay in 1854, where he became
a prominent official and fur trader.
It was he, who in the French and
Indian War led the Green Bay In
dams in the famous defeat and
slaughter of General Braddock's ar
my. During the Revolution he
served the British as an officer
against the patriots.
