Hortonville is a village in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 2,711 at the 2010 census. ==History== The village was founded in 1848 by landowner Alonzo Horton. One of Horton's first priorities was to dam Black Otter Creek, creating the Black Otter Lake. After laying out a plat for the community and encouraging development by giving much of the land away, Horton was swayed westward by the California Gold Rush. He later developed the city of San Diego, California.〔(About The Village of Hortonville, Wisconsin who later went on to develop San Diego )〕 On August 11, 1894, the settlement was incorporated as the Village of Hortonville.
