History

[edit]

The village of Allouez was named after the French Jesuit priest and missionary, Father Claude-Jean Allouez.[11] The Cadle Mission, a mission of the Episcopal Church for the Native Americans, was located in the village in the nineteenth century.[citation needed] It was first named Shanttown by soldiers in the early 1800's. In 1824 Judge James Doty arrived and picked it as a place for a courthouse, and gave it dignified name of Menomineeville. Although he didn't get around to registering the plat until 1829, and by that time Menomineeville had missed the boat. In 1874, Allouez would separate from the town of Bellevue to become its own entity. [12]
