History
The part of the town within three miles of the Wisconsin River was in the “Indian strip,” sold by the Menominees to the U.S. government in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars. As such, it was logged and surveyed early. In 1840 a crew working for the U.S. government surveyed that southern half of the six mile square that would become the town of Rudolph, walking through the woods and crossing the river, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:
The mill and bog iron were actually on the south side of the river, in what would become Biron.
In 1851 another crew surveyed the section lines of the north half of what would become the town of Rudolph, producing this general description:
The town of Rudolph was established in 1856, and named after Frederick Rudolph Hecox, the first white child born within its borders.
