Potter was established near a Native American village along the Manitowoc River. [7] It was originally named Muskratville because of the large number of muskrats that lived in the river and were trapped for their fur. [7] American Civil War Captain Orin R. Potter settled in Potter in 1859 and established a feed mill. [1] [7] That same year he renamed the village Potter Mills, which was later shortened to Potter. [1]
The village celebrated its 150th anniversary on July 19, 2009 with the second parade in the village's history. [1] The first parade was a 1907 "Medicine man parade." Five of Potter's great-great grandchildren attended the parade. [7]
