Prior to settlement by those of Swiss and Italian descent, several Indian tribes, mostly Winnebago, settled along this Mississippi region where they found fishing and hunting plentiful. In fact, there are two surveyed Indian burial grounds on the property that reflect once-upon-a-time. Before 1868, the town was called Bad Axe, named after a river in the vicinity. The oldest known white settler on the site of this picturesque river town was David Hastings, who erected the first house in 1853. Genoa was the location of a steamboat landing, which was referred to as Hastings Landing. In addition to river and rail commerce, early industry included two clamshell button factories and occupations of limestone quarrying.
