Town Talk
Town of Lomira Observes its 175th Anniversary in 2024
A little history about the Town . . . .
Settlers began arriving in the area beginning in 1843. The Town of Lomira was created by a group of these early settlers who met on April 10, 1849 at the home of Henry M. Luce. Elections were held soon after. The duties of the town at that time were to create school districts, lay out roads, provide protection against crime and record mortgages. All town board meetings and elections were held in the homes of residents from 1849-1904. In 1905, the Brownsville Fire House became the official Town Hall and remained so until 1952 when the present Town Garage was built at Knowles. In 1997, a large meeting room addition was built on the north side of the Garage.
In 1849, the Town of Lomira was the governing municipality for the entire township including the villages of Lomira and Brownsville. The Village of Lomira was incorporated in 1899 and Brownsville was incorporated as a village in 1952. The railroad played an important role in the development of the communities in Lomira Township since one rail line ran through Lomira and another ran through Brownsville and Knowles.
Additional information can obtained from the Lomira Historical Society which offers information about Lomira area history. The Silver Leaf School House (displays and artifacts) at Sterr Park in the Village of Lomira is open selected days during the summer.
