Depere Emerges From Early Struggles to Rapid Growth
The Brown County town of Depere traces its origin to French explorers and fur traders who named the rapids Des Peres. After a period of stagnation, the settlement revived around 1849, with rapid population and business growth. By 1849 only a few buildings stood, but now about 600 residents and roughly 200 structures mark a thriving, expanding community driven by lumbering, fishing, and growing commerce.
