History

The first town meeting was held for what was originally called “Fontana” (later renamed “Walworth”), in a schoolhouse on Big Foot Prairie on April 4, 1843. George H. Lown was elected as Chairman of the “Supervisors”. Also elected were two assistants to Lown (listed as Supervisors, but also as “assistants”); a Clerk; a Treasurer; three School Commissioners; three Highway Commissioners; an Assessor; a Collector; three Constables; and a Moderator.
