It's the name of a Chief of the Menominee tribe here in Wisconsin. He was instrumental in this area in the mid 1800s. One of my ancestors was the territorial governor of Wisconsin at the time and had a lot of contact with him. As city names go, it's pretty plain compared to the names of so many Aussie towns such as Coonabarabran or Woolongong.
