A Town Without a Woman in Jefferson County Wisconsin
A small Wisconsin settlement in Jefferson County known as the town without a woman has grown from platting to a modest, all-male population. It includes a mail route, dry goods store, cheese factory, blacksmith shop, and a few residents, named after Alice Aspinwall Metcalf, an early settler’s daughter. The town sits within the canal strip history of 19th century land grants and preemption, with nearby early settlers still tied to lands bought from the General Government.
