History

Potter was established near a Native American village along the Manitowoc River. It was originally named Muskratville because of the large number of muskrats that lived in the river and were trapped for their fur. American Civil War Captain Orin R. Potter settled in Potter in 1859 and established a feed mill. That same year he renamed the village Potter Mills, which was later shortened to Potter.

The village celebrated its 150th anniversary on July 19, 2009 with the second parade in the village’s history. The first parade was a 1907 “Medicine man parade.” Five of Potter’s great-great grandchildren attended the parade.
