Kenosha vicinity; the discoverer of two sites believes they antedate
the Clovis culture, making them contemporaneous with the Wisconsin
glaciation. Paleo-Indians settled in the area at least 13,500 years
ago.The land was ceded by the Potawatomi in 1833, when they sold the
last of their land in Illinois and Wisconsin to the United States.
They had hoped to protect their land claims by fighting alongside the
US in the Black Hawk War of 1832, but growing poverty forced them to
sell in exchange for territory in Iowa and economic investments in
schools and agriculture. Kenosha, Wisconsin Top Movies & Young Movies
