Waupun, Wisconsin
Waupun 〔http://www.misspronouncer.com/towns/waupun.html〕 is a city in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 11,340 at the 2010 census.〔(2010 Census returns )〕 Of this, 7,864 were in Dodge County, and 3,476 were in Fond du Lac County. In Fond du Lac County, there is also the Town of Waupun which abuts the city of Waupun.
Waupun also has the most outdoor public sculpture per capita of any city in North America. This includes the world famous "End of the Trail" statue, The Dawn of Day, the Who Sows Believes in God, the Pioneers, and The Recording Angel among others. These statues are in Waupun because of the donation of Clarence Addison Shaler. Mr. Shaler is buried by his wife in Waupun's Forest Mound Cemetery.
==History==
Waupun comes from the Ojibwe word "Waubun" which means "dawn of day."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Waubun Minnesota Vacation Destination - Tamarac National Wildlife Rescue )〕 In fact Waupun was originally supposed to be named "Waubun" but the State of Wisconsin made a spelling error, and Waupun never bothered to change it.
Waupun was founded in 1839 by Seymour Wilcox, the first settler along the Rock River in what was then deciduous forested land. The territorial Census in 1847 showed Waupun Township to have a population of 956. In 1851, the city was chosen for the State Penitentiary, owing to the abundance of limestone for construction. The main building, constructed in 1854, is still in use. The population in 1940 was 6,725.
