==History==
Historically, one of the more important settlements was the community of Ulao, Wisconsin. It was located at the eastern end of the road which became State Highway 60.
The Town of Grafton was the site of Camp Hindenburg, owned and operated by the pro-Nazi German American Bund from the late 1930s through the outbreak of World War Two. In 1940, Camp Carl Schurz, operated by the anti-Bund Wisconsin Federation of German-American Societies, was opened a mile away.〔("Flag is Hoisted at Bund Camp" ), ''The Milwaukee Journal'' May 31, 1940, p. 13, col. 2.〕〔United States.
