Calumet County

Is bounded on the north by Brown, east by Manitowoc, south by Sheboygan and Fond du Lac, and on the west by Winnebago counties; or on the north by the line between township twenty and twenty one, on the east by the line between ranges twenty and twenty one, on the south by the line between townships sixteen & seventeen (in range twenty one) and the south line of the Indian reservation produced into Lake Winnebago, and on the west by the line between ranges seventeen and eighteen. It is twenty four miles long from north to south, and eighteen miles wide. The area is three hundred and ninety six square miles including about [seventy] eighty [three] one miles of the water of Lake Winnebago.

Calumet county was set off from Brown in 1836 and organized as a separate county in 1842, but in 1843 it was reduced to the grade of a town and made part of Fond du Lac County under the name of Manchester. It is now I believe restored to its former dignity. The population in 1840 was 275, in 1842, 407.
