Book Synopsis Sheboygan, A City Defined by Water by : Sheboygan County Histor Research Center
Book excerpt: Sheboygan, Wisconsin is a city defined by water. Situated on the western shore of Lake Michigan at the point where the Sheboygan River empties into the lake, life in the city has always revolved around water. Immigration brought new Wisconsinites via the Great Lakes. Product from Sheboygan's booming furniture industry left the city via the river and then Lake Michigan for markets elsewhere. Coal and salt moved around the world from C. Reiss Coal Company for decades via Lake Michigan. Today, the water is the center of the region's recreation and tourism industry. This brief history touches on the many facets of Sheboygan, its river and its lake.
