Racine
Author: Gerald L. Karwowski
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738550626
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
In November 1834, Capt. Gilbert Knapp staked a claim to 141 acres at the mouth of the Root River, naming it Port Gilbert. This site became the city of Racine. During the pioneer years, Racine was dubbed Ã"the Belle CityÃ" of the Great Lakes (from the French word belle, meaning Ã"beautifulÃ"). The growth of this beautiful city and its harbor was captured in vintage postcards at a time when people sent little notes and messages to friends and family the way people use e-mail and cell phones today. These cards are like vignettes showing the changes that have taken place since one century agoÃ--a pictorial documentation of Racine preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Racine

ISBN: 1467112194
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
When Gilbert Knapp founded Racine in 1834 and the first pioneers settled there, no one had the remotest idea that the wilderness would one day transform into a thriving city. Ideally situated on Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Root River, the site was chosen by Knapp because of its harbor potential. The prospect of farming on the level prairies surrounding Racine also attracted many of the area s first settlers. Racine County is especially suited for growing wheat, which immediately became the county s leading agricultural product. The town of Racine quickly became a prosperous center serving the needs of the area s farm population. Even Racine s industrial base was founded on wheat; in 1842, J.I. Case invented a wheat thresher that helped Racine to grow into one of the foremost industrial centers in the United States."
