History

City Park was founded in 1848, after being donated by early settler David C. Reed. [4] By 1850 there were about 20 homes in this area, and the street was nicknamed "Prospect Hill." [3] Most of these early homes were torn down, and none still stand. The earliest remaining homes were built in the 1870s, two examples include the Edward M. Hackett House, [5] and the Abner L. Harris House. [6] In 1906, the Presbyterian Church was built, and in 1908 St. Peter's Lutheran Church was built; the churches are on opposite corners of City Park. [3] In 1932 the Reedsburg Municipal Hospital was built on North Park Street.
