In 1837, President Van Buren commissioned 45 men to go to Madison to build a territory capitol. They left Milwaukee, travelling through rain for 14 days. As they approached the Madison area, they stopped at the edge of a prairie. On that day, the sun was shining brightly. They carved the name "Sun Prairie" into a tree. Some returned years later to seek out that tree, and establish the city called Sun Prairie.
