Scott County History
Scott County’s first American settlement began in 1833 at Clark’s Ferry—now known as Buffalo. Davenport soon followed and grew to become both the county seat and its largest city. In 1837, the Wisconsin Territorial Legislature formally established the county and named it in honor of General Winfield Scott, who oversaw the treaty negotiations that concluded the Black Hawk War. Additional historical details can be found on the county’s Wikipedia page.
