Bassett, Wisconsin

Bassett, Wisconsin

Bassett is a small unincorporated community in Randall, a town in southwestern Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States. The Randall Town Hall is located within the village. Bassett was first settled by Henry Bassett and his son Reuben in 1842, six years before Wisconsin statehood, when 120 acres were purchased. [ [http://www.rootsweb.com/~wikenosh/placenames.htm Kenosha Co. WI Placenames ] ] [ [http://genforum.genealogy.com/bassett/messages/536.html Re: Reuben/Sarah E. Bassett, Kenosha Co WI ] ] The population accelerated when the Kenosha and Rockford Railroad was built through the community in the later 19th Century, and Henry Bassett contributed land for that purpose. (The railroad was abandoned in May 1939.) The village was earlier known as Bassett's Station, and then Bassetts.
