Notes
Justice in the Grant County Courthouse Major G.M. Price, a land speculator, laid out the town in 1837. He was persuaded to name it Lancaster by a relative who emigrated from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At Pleasant Ridge, one of the first Afro-American communities in Wisconsin was founded by the Shepard family in 1849 and settled in the 1850s. Lancaster was the home of the first Governor of Wisconsin, Nelson Dewey. Lancaster calls itself "The City of the Dome" after the octagonal glass and copper-clad dome of its courthouse building (illustrated, right above), which was designed by Armand Koch and built in 1905. In the spandrels of the courthouse dome are four allegorical murals (illustration, left) painted by Franz Edward Rohrbeck.
