Around the same time that Justus Bangs was settling on the shores of Bangs Lake, Jeremy and Thomas Slocum were settling on the shores of Slocum Lake. The year was 1837.
By 1840 the Indians had moved westward leaving only a remnant of the Winnebago tribe on the shores of the Fox River. Several Indian mounds were found near here and it is probable there was an encampment at Slocum Lake. These remaining Winnebago Indians went into Wauconda to trade.
