It is the principal city of the Sheboygan, Wisconsin Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Sheboygan River, about 50 mi (81 km) north of Milwaukee and 64 mi (103 km) south of Green Bay. ==History== Migrants from New York, Michigan, and New England were among the pioneers to this area in the 1830s. One very early settler remarked "Nearly all the settlers were from the New England states and New York."〔Carl Zillier. ''History of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, Past and Present. Vol. 1, p. 129.〕 Lumbering was the first major industry, as trees were harvested and shipped to eastern markets through the Great Lakes. Sheboygan was officially founded in 1846.〔J. E. Leberman. ''(One Hundred Years of Sheboygan, 1846–1946 )''. Sheboygan, Wis., 1946.〕 By 1849 the community was known for its German population, as it became a destination of a wave of German middle-class liberal immigrants, who reached the United States after the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states. On June 26, 1849 William Williams wrote, "arrived at Sheboigin on the Wisconsin side, a small town, population purhaps (sic) from 700 to 1000. This is a promising place. there are a great many best class of Germans settling around it. tis all along this Lake so far quite an interesting country."〔William Williams. "(Major William Williams' Journal of a Trip to Iowa in 1849 )", ''Annals of Iowa'' vol. 12, no. 4 (1920): 242-281.〕 Between 1840 and 1890, Protestant Dutch immigrants also settled in areas of Wisconsin, including Sheboygan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Wisconsin's Cultural Resource Study Units )〕 Dutch and Irish immigrants also came during this period, the Irish because of the Great Famine. Settlers of both English and German ancestry were overwhelmingly opposed to slavery. In the spring of 1898 Sheboygan elected Fred C. Haack and August L. Mohr as aldermen, making them the first two Social Democratic Party candidates to be elected to public office in the United States. Haack had originally been elected in 1897 as a member of the Populist Party, but joined the Social Democrats after they had organized locally. Haack served as an alderman for sixteen years before moving to Milwaukee and being elected as a Socialist alderman there. At the Socialist Party's 1932 convention Haack received recognition as the first Socialist officeholder in America.〔Elmer A. Beck. ''The Sewer Socialists''. Fennimore, Wis.: Westburg Associates, 1982, p. 20.〕〔"Former Sheboygan Alderman is Laid to Rest", ''Sheboygan Press'', August 4, 1944.〕 In the early 20th century, many Slavonic Catholics and Lithuanians immigrated to Sheboygan. In the late 20th century, numerous Hmong immigrants from Laos and Southeast Asia were helped to settle in the city, beginning with men who had fought for the CIA in the Secret War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sheboygan, Wisconsin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
