Wisconsin's First Deed

Dominique Ducharme, the first known white settler at Kaukauna, obtained 1281 acres of land from several Indian tribes in 1793 in Wisconsin’s first recorded deed for land, in exchange for 2 barrels of rum and other gifts. This land is now the City of Kaukauna. The original deed is recorded in Brown County in Volume B of Deeds, Page 110, and was recorded Dec. 18, 1828.
