Talk:Door County, Wisconsin

message: I added a few links for the county airports, Door County Cherryland Airport and Ephraim-Fish Creek Airport. I recently created the Cherryland Airport article, and if anybody has more info on the airfield, please update the article. Also, if there is more information on any airports in Door County, I think that would be a valuble addition to the article..just my two cents. Luke119 01:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I added the template for expansion because I think more information on why folks vacation in Door County would be interesting; if not on this page, then on the individual cities' pages. I've never been up there so I don't really know that much. HollyAm 17:41, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

message: If this article is going to talk about the Amerindians in Door County, I don't think it should jump from the 13th century to the "1800s".  I don't like treating them like Brigadoon.  The Door Peninsula and its islands feature in the westward migrations of North American Indians during the early historical period, with groups from the east displacing and replacing groups from the west.  That Amerindians once lived on the Door Peninsula but now generally don't is a sort of truism and applies to the U.S. generally.  It does not convey any information.
How many Native Americans lived in Door County in 1830 and how many were "removed" by the Indian Removal Act.  What specific treaties conveyed what become Door County to the federal or territorial governments?  When were they enacted?  If unknown, try early 19th century or late 19th century.
Also, generally, the 1800s should be avoided.  In 1801, Great Britain still controlled that part of the world.  By 1899, the earlier part of the century was as unimaginable to those alive as 1899 is to us today.  -Acjelen 21:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It's a common misconception that Death's Door was named after shipwrecks.  However the name significantly predates any shipwrecks in the passage and has it's root in the 1600's as the passage was at the center of a conflict between rival Native American tribes attempting to control the fisheries off the coasts of Washington Island.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cite Your Sources (talk • contribs) 17:44, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Not sure if "Cape Townsend" has anything to do with George Townshend, George Townshend. There is no h in Townsend, so maybe the similarity is just a coincidence. I am cross-posting this on the George Townshend talk page.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 16:03, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

message: I believe additional articles can be added such as one covering transportation and the bridges of Sturgeon Bay (see User:TillmanJosh/Bridges of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin) and potentially additional articles covering the history of Sturgeon Bay (something which has a lot of content to be added on). But would it be too much? I don't think so at the moment but you guys can decide. TillmanJosh (talk) 15:05, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: TillmanJosh, Yes, I just split off Climate of Door County, Wisconsin. Many some other local areas articles have separate split-offs for things like history, demographics, and culture. I came across an Economy of Cornwall article, so an Economy of Door County, Wisconsin article could be justified too. Earlier I separated a coronavirus article off of this one, but it was AfDed and redirected to the Wisconsin coronavirus article. So not all possible additional articles will work out.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 18:35, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I just made an edit to the Cana Island page. I'd never heard of it until a beautiful photograph of it appeared on my mother's laptop as the screensaver.  I was interested in it, so I decided to look at its Wikipedia page and saw that it was stated as being over 8 square miles, which seemed gargantuanly wrong - not even ballpark to its actual size.  I used Google Maps to estimate it, and from what I saw, Cana Island was just under 750 feet wide from West-East, which was its largest dimension for area, which would mean that it is less than .02 square miles. If there are any knowledgeable locals who can provide more accurate information, please be my guest and make a correction. Please leave a message on my talk page if you need any technical help with that.  QuakerIlK (talk) 15:45, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Using the area calculator at the door county web map it comes out to around 8 or 9 acres, not square miles. The size of the island is smaller right now than it is on the webmap because lake levels are higher. The article must have mixed up acres and square miles.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 18:28, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
