August 3, 1840 – “St. Croix County, including today’s Washington County, holds its first county election. The sites receiving votes are Joseph Brown’s warehouse at the site of today’s Stillwater, and Philander Prescott’s claim at today’s Prescott, Wisconsin. Brown himself is elected as register of deeds, treasurer, and surveyor. Three county commissioners are also elected: Hazen Mooers of Grey Cloud Island, Calvin Tuttle of St. Croix Falls, and Samuel Burkleo of Marine.”
