===Prehistory===
The oldest evidence of humans in the area trace back to 14,000&nbsp;BC. There have been Paleolithic finds on the north bank of [[Lake Zug]], which come from nomadic hunters and gatherers. Archaeologists have also found over forty lake-shore settlements, known as [[pile dwellings]], on the shores of Lake Zug from the epoch of the first settled farmers in the [[Neolithic]] period (5,500-2,200&nbsp;BC). The peak in these lake-shore village settlements was between 3800 and 2450&nbsp;BC. For the same epoch, the first pre-alpine land use has been found in Menzingen and in the Ägeri valley. The well-known, historically researched lake-shore village ''{{'}}Sumpf{{'}}'' (the swamp), dated from the late Bronze Age (up until 850&nbsp;BC). Evidence from these finds resulted in a quite different picture of life in former times, which is on display at the Zug Museum for Prehistory. In addition, finds from the Iron Age (850-50 BC) and the Roman and Celtic-Roman time (from 50&nbsp;BC) have been unearthed.
