For thousands of years, this area was occupied by successive original cultures. Some were known as moundbuilders, constructing a reported 72 earthworks close what is now Taylor Lake in the county, including many effigy mounds. Their descendants included the Menominee, who lived here for thousands of years. In the Menominee language this place is known as Sakēmāēwataenoh, meaning “mosquito place”, likely due to its riverside location. The Menominee sold this estate to the United States in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars, which saw greater than four million acres of estate in Wisconsin sold after years of settlement about how to accommodate the Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee, and Brothertown peoples who were swine removed from New York to Wisconsin.

Following the pact which made the land comprehensible for purchase, New London was acknowledged by European-American settlers in 1852 and was named after New London, Connecticut by Reeder Smith, a founder whose daddy was from there. Reeder Smith built the plank road together with Appleton and Stevens Point. New London became a lumber middle and the terminus of steamboats plying the Wolf River from Oshkosh.
