THE LAFAYETTE COUNTY

COURTHOUSE The Lafayette County Courthouse was built in 1905 - 1907 at a total cost of $136,556.17. A committee of three men from Shullsburg were the planners. Mr. Matt Murphy was the prime mover and source of money to build the courthouse. The bust of Matt Murphy is located on the entrance over the front steps of the courthouse.

INFORMATION ABOUT

LAFAYETTE COUNTY Situated in the Southwestern part of Wisconsin, Lafayette County lies within the unglaciated area of the state in the driftless region bordering the State of Illinois. With an area of 643 square miles or 411,520 acres, it has a population of 16,897 according to the 2011 final estimate. The first settlements perfected by permanent occupation in Lafayette County were made during the year 1824 and were due to the existence of the lead mines, which led to early development and stability of the County. Today, Lafayette County is

the rules for the public hearing, may allow a time before the presentation or following the presentation of the information for the public hearing to allow the people who have registered time to speak.
