Municipalities served by Highway 33
History
Prior to European settlement, the foot trail from Port Washington to Horicon was the most traveled of seven trails that met in Horicon Marsh.[2] A road was constructed to provide access from Lake Michigan to the fertile hunting grounds of the marsh, to provide food for the crews of ships on the lake. It is one of the oldest roads in Wisconsin.[citation needed]
