After the arriving of the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad in 1852, Whitewater become a regional shipping center that blossomed into a powerful industrial the city. The Esterly Harvesting Machine Company and the Winchester and Partridge Wagon Works established their first factories in Whitewater after the approaching of the Milwaukee and Mississippi. Their manufactured goods were known across the country for exceptional quality. A myriad of new inventions and patents came from Whitewater’s business population, and Whitewater’s farmers and dairymen consistently won prizes for their produce, whilst its factories produced reapers and wagons that won national competitions. Within the 1890s, alternatively, development stopped and Whitewater lost its economic clout in a couple of short years. This book explains what happened to Whitewater.
