From: Handbook of Wisconsin by S. Silas, 1855
Juneau County (included with Adams)
pg. 46-48
By an act of the Legislature passed during the session of 1855, this county [Adams] is divided by the Wisconsin River, making the County of Juneau on the west side, subject to approval by the voters of the County in November. There is little doubt the County will be so divided.
