History

Lead continued to be produced in abundant quantities by the Cornish miners, and in 1847, the 'Mineral Point Tribune' reported that the town's furnaces were producing 43,800 pounds (19,900 kg) of lead each day. The seal displayed an arm holding a pickaxe over a pile of lead ore, demonstrating the importance of Mineral Point's early mining economy to the new territory. Zinc mining and processing continued on a large scale until the 1920s. By 1829, the region's growing population led to the creation of Iowa County, Wisconsin County, which included all of the lead mining lands within the borders of Michigan Territory at the time. Mineral Point remained an important lead mining center during the 1840s.
