Oshkosh is named for the Menominee chief Oshkosh, whose name meant "claw." The fur trade brought the first European settlers as early as 1818, but the area never became a major trading center, and after 1830, with over-trapping, the mining boom in southwest Wisconsin and the opening of the Erie Canal, trade shifted away from the Fox River Valley. After the Black Hawk War of 1832, settlers from New England and upstate New York poured into Wisconsin.
The lumber industry drove Oshkosh's growth. Already the county seat, it was incorporated as a city in 1853 with nearly 2,800 people. Businessmen used the navigable waterways to reach both markets and the northern pineries, and the railroad, which arrived in 1859, helped meet booming demand for building materials. With 11 mills by 1860, and 47 sawmills and 15 shingle mills by 1874, Oshkosh was known as the Sawdust Capital of the World. During the Civil War the 21st Wisconsin Infantry was organized at Oshkosh and mustered on September 5, 1862. By 1870 Oshkosh was the third-largest city in Wisconsin, with more than 12,000 people, and the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern and the Oshkosh State Normal School, now the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, were founded around that time. On April 28, 1875, a great fire destroyed 70 stores, 40 factories and 500 homes along Main Street north of the Fox River, causing nearly $2.5 million in damage. Oshkosh remained one of Wisconsin's five largest cities into the 20th century. Sources Wikipedia: Oshkosh, Wisconsin
