History
Established in 1872, Jackson was once known as Riceville (misspelled German last name) and was a rural community developed on 400 acres purchased by Franz Reis. The community thrived after a railroad was built. The train traveled from Milwaukee to Fond du Lac. When Reis heard of the project, he offered the railroad company a lot for a depot. The railroad played a key role in the flourish of Jackson for many years. People living in Jackson at that time tell stories about commuting by train to high school classes in West Bend.
