It is believed that in 1635 Jean Nicolet, the French explorer, was the first recorded white man to have visited this locality as he skirted the shores of Lake Michigan heading south from Green Bay. Indians following their trail from Milwaukee to Green Bay could always tell where they were when they reached the mouth of the Sheboygan River. They called this spot Schwab-we-way-kum, Indian terminology for "great noise underground." The theory is that the rushing sounds of the falls upstream prompted this description and this is a more generally accepted version of how Sheboygan got its name. ;)
