History

Juneau was founded in 1845 by settlers Martin Rich and William Dennis. It became the county seat of Dodge County in 1846. The founders originally named the settlement “Victory” and then “Dodge Center,” but finding these names in conflict with other places, the town changed its name to Juneau in 1852. Most sources say that Juneau was named after French-Canadian trader Solomon Juneau, the founder of Milwaukee and of Theresa, Wisconsin. The city itself claims to be named for Paul Juneau, Solomon Juneau’s part-Menominee son, a businessman and state legislator who made his home in the city and served as county register of deeds until his accidental shooting death outside the courthouse in Juneau in 1858. Juneau was incorporated as a village in 1865 and a city in 1879.
