History

The community first settled and platted by George White in 1838. White's home was one of the first three election sites in Fond du Lac County.^[4] At its height, Calumetville rivaled Fond du Lac as a commercial center. There had been a butcher, a doctor or two, a reception hall, a post office, a couple harness shops, a couple blacksmiths, a hotel, a Turner Hall, and a school. In the 1950s and 1960s there had been two grocery & hardware stores, two gas stations, and two taverns.

In 2009 during a road construction project on Highway 151 in Calumetville, human bones were found. The bones are of a young adult and are believed to be part of an ancient burial site. Construction was delayed to allow for additional excavation of the burial site.^[5]
