Evansville wi Wedding

Evansville is a city in Rock County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 4,039 at the 2000 census.

Evansville was first settled in the 1830s by New Englanders who were attracted to the area by its pristine wooded landscape and the placid Allen Creek. By 1855, the city recorded its first plat and was complete with homes, shops, and churches.

In 1863, the Chicago and North Western Railway came to Evansville, accelerating growth. At this point, Evansville's economy comprised the surrounding agriculture, mainly wheat and tobacco.

By the turn of the century Evansville had over 1900 residents, and by the 1920s, most of the buildings in Evansville's future Historic District were completed.

On April 4, 2006, Evansville voters participated in two referenda, one to urge a pullout of US troops from Iraq, and the second to gauge whether town residents support "our honorable President's leadership" against "the unfathomable wickedness of the forces of terror". The first was approved but the second was rejected. While other Wisconsin communities were noted for holding referenda on the Iraq War, Evansville was the only place where there were two that competed.

Evansville is located at 424648N, 89181W (42.779917, -89.300378)GR1.
