Sheboygan

City, port, and administrative headquarters of Sheboygan County, east Wisconsin, USA, on Lake Michigan, 80 km/50 mi north of Milwaukee; population (2000) 50,800. It is the processing and distribution centre of a dairy farming area which specializes in cheese production. Iron and steel, furniture, plastics, and enamelware are manufactured. It is the home of Lakeland College (1862).

Established in 1818 as a fur-trading post, it was permanently settled in 1835. A high proportion of the population has German heritage. Sheboygan Indian Mound Park on the city's southern edge contains burial mounds in the shapes of panthers and deer that date from AD 500–750.

Milan was then presently Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and Verona was our little village; but they both served the soul of youth as well as the real places would have done, and were as really Italian as anything else in the situation was really this or that.
