- Description
French explorers LaSalle and Hennepin visited the site of Racine in 1679. European settlers arrived in 1835, and the city evolved into a prosperous shipping and manufacturing center, including the J.I. Case farm machinery company. Racine was a center of anti-slavery sentiment, and escaped slave Joshua Glover lived there. His capture under the Fugitive Slave Law and rescue by Racine residents is one of the most famous incidents in Wisconsin history.
