History abounds in Delafield. Dealfield, Wisconsin was originally known as the Michigan territory, and began it's settlement in the early nineteenth century when the government offered land at a price of one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. The area which is now known as Delafield was dotted with sparkling lakes, clear river streams, and hardwood forests. Seasonal hunting and fishing camps of several Indian tribes could be found on the shores of the lakes and streams. Cabins wer first settled on this rolling landscape in 1839. Other settlers, including farmers and merchants, soon followed. Herds of sheep began to graze the gentle hills as grist and saw mills appeared along the streams.

Perhaps Delafield's most famous settler was Nelson Hawks who moved here with his family from the state of New York. Mr. Hawks soon built a three story inn as a stage coach stop in 1846. Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, the Hawks Inn stands today as an educational museum. Mr. hawks named this settlement Delafield and in 1848, the Michigan territory became the State of Wisconsin. Today this historic community thrives with over six thousand residents. Situated twenty-five miles west of Milwaukee, and fifty miles east of Madison, the State capitol, Delafield continues to attract families and businesses to it's historic and beautiful landscape.
