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.
