History

In the heart of Iowa County, Wisconsin there were once three villages located blocks away from each other. They consisted of: Dirty Hollow, Minersville, and Dodgeville. Dirty Hollow was a thriving settlement with three hotels, grocery stores, and even an opera house. However, after the long dispute over the county seat between Dodgeville and Mineral Point was settled and the new courthouse was built just a block away, causing a halt to the growth of Dirty Hollow. The three villages were then annexed into the growing settlement of Dodgeville.[1]
