HISTORY:
Plover
is located on the portage between the lower and the upper Wisconsin
River. It was the first village and, in 1844, the first seat of government
of the present Portage County. The village was platted in 1845, but
it was not until 1857 that it was incorporated as a village. When
Stevens Point replaced Plover as county seat, Plover was disincorporated.
In 1912 Plover was again incorporated but, because of financial problems,
it was dissolved shortly afterwards. Since the mid-1960's as movement
to incorporate Plover was again activated and was successful in its
goal in 1971. In all three occassions the village was created out
of the township of Plover. The Village of Plover is the most populated
village in the county.
