The Chippewa and Sioux Indians roamed this area before the French fur traders came trapping fur bearing animals which were plentiful along the Eau Galle River.

The real history of the village of Eau Galle began in 1838-39 when a sawmill was erected by Capt. George Wales and his partners Thomas Savage and Capt. Dix. Mr. William Carson and Henry Eaton became partners in the lumbering business and the town grew around what was known as the Carson and Rand Company.

Eau Galle received it's name from the Indians meaning "muddy waters."

This plaque was erected as a salute to the United States of America on its 200th birthday which was celebrated in Eau Galle on July 11, 1976.

The proceeds from the bicentennial celebration in Eau Galle went to erect this marker.
