Beaver Dam: A Lake Resort Town and Dodge County Seat
Beaver Dam sits on the west shore of Beaver Dam Lake in Dodge County. The city took its name from an actual beaver dam on the Beaver Dam River, a feature that reportedly measured more than 100 yards long when European settlers arrived in the 1830s. The original dam is long gone, but a human-built dam created Beaver Dam Lake, which covers 6,500 acres and supports a recreational fishing and boating economy.
The city grew in the 19th century as a manufacturing and agricultural service center, and Wayland Academy, a private boarding school founded in 1855, still operates on the east side of Beaver Dam. Graduates of Wayland include actor Fred MacMurray and economist Philip Taaffe. The academy's campus includes several 19th-century buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Beaver Dam's population is about 16,500. The Dodge County Historical Society operates a museum in the former U.S. Post Office building, and the city's Swan Park along the lake hosts summer concerts and a farmers market. John Deere operates a large manufacturing facility in Beaver Dam producing hay and forage equipment, and the plant has been one of the major employers since the mid-20th century.
