GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF THE AREA. 13 
The towns within the area afford a market for much of the 
farm produce, but the greater part is shipped to outside points. 
Of the agricultural output, dairy products are most important. 
Butter and cheese are shipped to all parts of the country. Sev¬ 
eral milk condenseries are located within the county. Livestock 
of all kinds are shipped from towns in the area. Excellent 
markets are within easy access of all farms. 
ONEIDA INDIAN RESERVATION. 
The Oneida Indian Reservation is located in the north-east 
corner of Outagamie County. The entire reservation consists 
of over 60,000 acres of land, but nearly half of this is in Brown 
County. 
In 1824 about eighty Oneida Indians coming from the state 
of New 1 ork purchased land of the Menominee Indians along 
Duck Creek within the present boundaries of the reservation. 
More of the same nation continued to come, and by 1838 the 
colony numbered about 650. In this year the United States 
Government made its first treaty with them, setting aside one 
hundred acres of land for each individual. The Indians, as a 
rule, have done little to improve the land within the reserva¬ 
tion, although a few have cleared farms and built homes.
