history

Charley Lindemann was the first white settler in the immediate area. The Indian tribes residing in the area at that time were the Potawatomi and the Menominee . In 1852, Lindemann founded a settlement that his wife named after her home town of Kiel in Schleswig-Holstein . Two years later, Colonel Henry F. Belitz, later called "Father of Kiel", built a hotel and a mill on the north bank of the Sheboygan River. Soon a country road ran through the young town between Green Bay and Milwaukee. For this purpose a bridge was built over the Sheboygan River in 1858, and from then on Kiel had good transport links to Sheboygan, which promoted further development. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kiel developed into an industrial location with trades that made bricks , wooden shoes , machines and furniture . Kiel was once known as the "wooden shoe capital" of Wisconsin as the only wooden shoe factory in the state was located here.
