MISHICOT

    Mishicot township was not a part of the original Manitowoc county territory
as organized in 1848. It was not until 1850 that the northern tier of townships
(Cooperstown, Gibson, Mishicot, and Two Creeks) was detached from Brown county.
The original Mishicott township as organized in 1850 was a part of the Two
Rivers township and remained so until 1852. It was not until that date that the
township of Mishicott consisting of the present Gibson and Mishicot area was
organized. Gibson became a township by itself in 1858.

    While the Mishicot area was still a part of Two Rivers, a school district
was organized in the area of Mishicott village. There is some indication that
the present Mishicot Jt. 1 district was then known as Two Rivers No. 2 school
district, but there are no official records to confirm this fact. When Mishicot
was organized in 1852, the area now made up of Gibson and Mishicot was divided
into school districts and the districts numbered without regard to the boundary
line between the present Gibson and Mishicot townships. Thus the present
Mishicot township in 1852 had school district numbers 1-3-4-5. School districts
numbers 2 and 6 were in the present Gibson area.

    By 1857, the Mishicot-Gibson area was becoming quite well settled and the
entire area re-districted into 13 school districts. The present Mishicot
township then had school districts number Jt. 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 13. In
1858, when Mishicot was separated from Gibson, the school districts were
re-numbered as they are today. The changes from one district number to another
are recorded in each individual school history as given in the following articles.
