The city of Sun Prairie WI with a population of nearly 30,000 is the 6th fastest growing city in WI and the second biggest city in Dane County. So it is no doubt that Sun Prairie Homes are so popular. The Town of Sun Prairie started in 1846 and later the City of Sun Prairie was incorporated in 1958 and has been increasing ever since.

Sun Prairie’s Got History

It seems that back in 1837 then President Van Buren sent a work party to develop a capitol for the pre-statehood Wisconsin. After wading thru the rain for days and days they reached a prairie just as the sun peeked out. One of the more diligent members of the gang decided to carve “Sun Prairie” into a tree, which apparently was a customary expression of excitement in
those days. Then a few years later, Charlie Bird, who was one of Van Buren’s original crew ventured back to the vicinity and became a settler. And from that humble beginning the city of Sun Prairie eventually emerged.

Sun Prairie has Grown and Prospered
