== History ==
The U.S. military bought most of the west side of [[Green Bay, Wisconsin]] from the Sioux in the 1850s and 1860s, except the area that would later become Ashwaubenon. That land belonged to two daughters of [[Chief Ashwaubamy]], a [[Sioux]] chief. They began selling their land to local farmers and landowners in the late 19th century.<ref name="ashwaubenon.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.ashwaubenon.com/Departments/Administration/VillageHistory/tabid/331/Default.aspx |title=Village History |access-date=October 16, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090624091024/http://www.ashwaubenon.com/Departments/Administration/VillageHistory/tabid/331/Default.aspx |archive-date=June 24, 2009 }}</ref> One of the owners was [[Jacques Vieau]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/2016/09/17/early-settler-finally-gets-his-due/90486264/ |work=Green Bay Press Gazette |last=Srubas |first=Paul |title=Early settler finally gets his due |date=September 17, 2016 }}</ref>

===Name origin===
One theory of the origins of ''Ashwaubenon'' is of [[Ojibwe language|Ojibwe]] origin. It is derived from ''ashiwabiwining'' "place where they watch, keep a lookout".<ref>Verwyst, Chrysostom. 1892.
