history
The first settlement was founded in 1827 and named after Lewis Cass , the governor of the then Michigan Territory . After the formation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836, Cassville was shortlisted for the possible capitals of the territory, which then stretched from Lake Michigan to Missouri . But when Madison was promoted to the capital of the area, a number of land speculators in Cassville went bankrupt.
Then when Nelson Dewey , who came to Cassville in 1836 and later became the first governor of Wisconsin , bought a large part of the area around the settlement in the hope that Cassville would develop into a large city and that the land there would bring large profits would. So the further settlement was promoted. Dewey also acquired Stonefield, a property near the city that is now a Wisconsin State Historic Site .
