The Origins of Sun Prairie

The Town of Sun Prairie was first organized as a town in the spring of 1848, with A. W. Dickenson Town Clerk.  Its name was derived from the following circumstances:  In the spring of 1836, Hon. A.A. Bird and party left Milwaukee to locate the Capital of the Territory of Wisconsin.  It was a rainy, cloudy time, and on the morning of the eleventh day of their journey, while on the prairie, two miles east of the present village of Sun Prairie, the fog cleared away and the sun appeared for the first time since they had left Milwaukee.  The party shouted, with one accord, Sun Prairie!”

The Town has moved to an automated service using trash and recycling carts on wheels. Each residential unit was given a 65-gallon trash and a 65-gallon recycling container. The carts have flip tops, which will help eliminate items being blown around. The trash is being collected weekly.The recycling is collected every other week , depending on which side of highway T the resident lives on.  See the December, 2009 newsletter or the PDF file of the newsletter here on this site for a map and calendar which further explains this schedule.
