Settled in 1845 by a group of Swiss immigrants, the community has grown up with a strong swiss flavor with its many festivals and musical events adding spice to the flavor of living in the area. The area's topography, geographically defined as Wisconsin's "driftless area"—rolling hills with woodlands and valleys around every bend—make it one of the most beautiful areas in Wisconsin. Living here allows people to work and play in Madison if they desire and still is a comfortable drive to Milwaukee and Chicago or the Twin Cities for that longer day trip or weekend.
