Walworth (town), Wisconsin

The unincorporated communities of Big Foot Prairie and Delavan Lake are also located partially in the town.

The first town meeting was held for what was originally called "Fontana" (later renamed "Walworth"), in a schoolhouse on Big Foot Prairie on April 4, 1843.

Also elected were two assistants to Lown (listed as Supervisors, but also as "assistants"); a Clerk; a Treasurer; three School Commissioners; three Highway Commissioners; an Assessor; a Collector; three Constables; and a Moderator.

The meeting voted to raise for incidental expenses, $60; for relief of the poor, $20; for the support of schools, $100; and for the relief of poor citizens named in the records, a special tax of $30.75.

14.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 5.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
