Westby
The City of Westby began as Westby Station in 1879 when
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad named this railroad
stop in honor of Ole Westby who owned a general store and was
Prior to 1879, this area was called Coon Prairie with a
general store and post office located at what is today called "Old
Town". Westby Station became a village in 1896, dropping the
word Station in the process. In 1899, Westby voted to dig a well,
build a water storage tower and install water pipes to all citizens.
This was completed in 1900. A power plant was built in 1902 to have
electricity available to anyone who wished it, but for over twenty
years, electricity was available only during daytime hours.
In 1920 Westby became a city. A citywide sewer system was
made available in 1927. From a population of 10 in the fall of 1848
to a current estimate of 2100, Westby continues to grow and prosper.
