History

Lincoln is the fourth-most Belgian-American community in the United States, by proportion of population. [4] [5] Lincoln was originally named "GrandLez", after the village of Grand-Leez, now a section of the town of Gembloux, Arrondissement of Namur, province of Namur, Belgium (cfr fr:Grand-Leez). Belgians emigrated from there between 1850 and 1860. Prior to March 21, 1862, what is Lincoln today, was part of Ahnapee. [6]
