Why this spot
1848-1893 river landing and hop town
Platted by French Canadian trader Luke La Borde, Delhi had three stores, two grain mills, hop presses, a sawmill, a 22-room hotel, a steamboat dock and a daily stage. Trade shifted to Omro and Eureka when they built better bridges and got the railroad, and the town emptied; its post office closed in 1893.View source →
