There are many nationalities of immigrants that settled in and around Dane County, one being a unique group of French immigrants, all from the Haute-Soane region in northeastern France. Beginning in the 1850s and spanning into the late 1870s, thirty-two families immigrated to Wisconsin, most settling northeast of Belleville in Montrose Township. This rural area came to be known as ^Frenchtown.^" By the early 1900s
