ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NAME OF ANNUAL We, the members of the Senior Class of 1939, wish to hereby establish the name of “Neshonoc” for our annual. Such an attempt was made in 1924, but the tradition was not carried on. Because of the meaning of the name, we think it would be an appropriate title for the presentation of this class project. It is our desire to have the succeeding classes recognize this act and carry on the name of “Neshonoc” for future annuals. Page 2

TIm History Of The Xame ••Xoslionoc ” The name Neshonoc is closely rela'ed to the histoiy of this community. During 1855, Monroe Palmer, with the aid of the County Surveyor, laid ou. the village of Neshonoc. That place is located cne mile north of the present village of West Salem on Highway 16. The name. Neshonoc, had its origin in a.i Indian name and indicates its locati n on the La Crosse River. The first building was used for hotel purposes. Incidentally, that building is still being used, for in later years, it was meved to West Salem and is now located on the north east cor ner of Leonard and Main Streets and is now being used as a home. In a short time the village of Neshcnoc ‘howed piospects cf a bight futu.e. Farther south, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railicad was built and the station of Salem was located. The name was later changed to West Salem, for in Kenosha County there was a village of Salem. A village was built at this site and because of the advantages cf the railroad, the population of Neshonoc was literally swept like an avalanche to the village of Salem. Merchant buildings and merchandise were removed and tran ferred. which made the future of Neshonoc ve:y glcoiry. For a while there was some competition between the two villages, but as the inhabitants continued to depart from Neshonoc, that village was soon abandoned. Today, highways 16 and 108 lead out of Neshonoc and there is located at that junction a rural school house, filling station and picnic grounds. The Neshonoc Light and Power Company, which is the source of electricity for West Salem an:l vicinity, is a .to located there. Page 3
