Early White Exploration of the Great Lakes and Wisconsin
The first white explorers reached the Upper Lake region in 1654 two fur traders from Montreal. They stayed two years among tribes and later extended travel to Green Bay. By 1659 traffic reached that bay. Wisconsin’s first settlement dates to 1665 at Ta Porte. Traversals by Perrot Allouez Dablon Marguette Joliet and La Salle followed, marking voyages toward the Mississippi and Niagara. The Griffin carrying La Salle sailed from Green Bay in 1679 and disappeared near Niagara, underscoring early harbor shortages on Lake Michigan and repeated later calamities.
