<br>The first Swedish settlers in Wisconsin were Carl Friman and his five sons. They came in 1838 and purchased 80 acres near Genoa City. Carl returned to Sweden but his sons remained in Wisconsin and wrote letters back to their father. The letters to their father appeared in newspapers in Sweden and influenced others to emigrate to American and to Wisconsin. By 1900 nearly 49,000 individuals born in Sweden lived in Wisconsin. | <br>The first Swedish settlers in Wisconsin were Carl Friman and his five sons.
