Discover Janesville
The site of Janesville was a Ho-Chunk village called Round Rock until white settlement. The 1825 Treaty of Prairie du Chien recognized the land west of the Rock River as Ho-Chunk territory and the land east of it as Potawatomi, but after the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the Black Hawk War of 1832 both nations were forced to give it up to the United States.
More about Janesville
In 1835 the settlers John Inman, George Follmer, Joshua Holmes and William Holmes Jr. built a rough log cabin in the area, and later that year Henry F. Janes, a Virginian woodsman and early town planner, arrived. Janes wanted to call the village Blackhawk, after the Sauk leader, but postal officials refused, and the town was named Janesville for him. Though named for a Virginian, Janesville was settled mainly by New Englanders and their descendants from upstate New York, part of the westward migration that surged after the Erie Canal opened. Drawn by fertile farmland and woodland, they established farms growing wheat and other grains. Some came from the burned-over district of western New York, a center of the Second Great Awakening, and some were active in the abolitionist and women's rights movements.
