About Beloit, Wisconsin
At the Joining of the Rock River and Turtle Creek
Beloit’s Story
Beloit, Wisconsin, is located in
Rock County and lies between the Wisconsin capital city of Madison and
the Wisconsin-Illinois border. The name was derived from a French word,
balotte, meaning "handsome ground"; the spelling of it was anglicized
to resemble Detroit, which the community viewed as a model of
trade and growth. As of the 2000 census, Beloit (bee - LOYT) had a
total population of 35,775. Beloit is home to Beloit College, the
world's largest can of chili (Hormel), and the Beloit Snappers, the
Minnesota Twins' minor leage (A) baseball club in the Midwest League.
The City of Beloit, Wisconsin, lies adjacent to the Town of Beloit.
Situated at the confluence of the Rock
River and Turtle Creek, what is now Beloit, Wisconsin, has long been
home to various Native-American tribes, from the ancient Mound Builders
to the Winnebagos, the last tribe to have a semi-permanent settlement
at the future Beloit. This last tribe abandoned their settlement in
1832 when Black Hawk and his followers were pursued through the area
during the Black Hawk War.
Joseph Thibeau was the first white man
to claim land in Beloit following the departure of the Winnebagos. A
French fur trader who enjoyed a good reputation with local tribes,
Thibeau settled at the southwestern corner of present day State St. and
Shirland Ave. It was he who greeted Caleb Blodgett, Beloit’s first
permanent settler. Thibeau sold to Caleb “three looks” of land; that
purchase marked Beloit’s beginning as a village.
With the arrival of the New England
Immigrating Company in 1836, the future of the fledgling community was
assured. This group came from Colebrook, New Hampshire, and was led by
the able scout Dr. Horace White. They bought land from Caleb Blodgett,
started developing it, and soon family and friends were moving to the
area. Only eleven years later the cornerstone of Beloit College was
laid. Churches and schools were planned, mills were running using the
water of the Rock River, and business took root in the village to be
named Beloit.
Today, Beloit is quickly becoming knonw
as the hometown of the highly popular and successful pioneering
professional Indy series race car driver, Danica Patrick.
