History



Early history


Hayward was "named for Anthony Judson Hayward, a lumberman who located the site for building a sawmill, around which the town grew."[9][10]

Logging began in the late 1850s. Loggers came from Cortland County, New York, Carroll County, New Hampshire, Orange County, Vermont, Down East Maine in what is now Washington County, Maine and Hancock County, Maine. These were "Yankee" migrants, descended from the English Puritans who had settled New England during the 1600s. They were mostly members of the Congregational Church.[11] From the 1890s, immigrants came from a variety of countries such as Germany, Norway, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Czechoslovakia, and Sweden.

Hayward Indian Residential School


In 1901, the Hayward Indian Residential School was established in Hayward. It was founded to assimilate Indigenous children into white Christian American culture. Most of the students were Ojibwe and came from the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation ten miles away from the school. The school operated until 1934, when it closed due to being understaffed, underfunded, and overcrowded. During its operation, thousands of students passed through the school.[12] Some were taken forcibly from their families.[13] At the school, children were forced to take on Christian names, cut their hair, wear military style uniforms, and march in military formations.[12] Boys and girls were strictly segregated in separate buildings.[14]

The curriculum focused on English language, Christian religion, and industrial labor. Provision of teachers was so poor that few students graduated, and graduation certificates were withheld from students who were thought likely to return to their reservations instead of assimilating into white society. The school was funded in part by the government and in part by the labor of the children in agriculture and sewing. Male children cleared over 260 acres for cultivation. Girls were trained as housewives and lived in the "Homestead Cottage", where a female teacher taught them how to run a household. The girls sold their sewing products to support the school and prepared meals for the other students. In the first decade of the school's operation, girls were encouraged to practice Native beadwork styles, but by 1910 this had discontinued.[12]

Overcrowding and poor sanitation endangered the students' health. Dishes were rarely cleaned, students slept two to a bed, and during the winter they crowded into small rooms for indoor activities because there was no gymnasium. Children were served moldy bread, and most of the milk the children produced from the dairy herd was sold rather than fed to the children.[12] These poor health conditions led to high rates of disease. The death rate during the 1918 flu pandemic was ten times higher than the Wisconsin average.[15] Students also died from epidemics of measles and pneumonia.[12] Some students were sexually abused by the teachers.[13]

For speaking their Native languages, students were punished with beatings, public humiliation, extra chores, and confinement in the school jail. The school jail was a cell with bars in the basement of the boy's dormitory where children were fed only bread and water.[12] Other students were punished by being forced to kneel on marbles for hours.[13] Hayward students sometimes went out into the woods on the weekends and spoke Ojibwe together since it was forbidden in school. On one occasion, a secret drum dance was held, where students prepared by secretly sewing jingles onto their dresses and practicing their singing at night. The superintendents caught the students and punished them by burning their drums, hitting their knuckles, and forcing the girls to wear signs around their necks reading "I will not squaw dance".[16] Due to the poor conditions and harsh discipline, runaways were common; in 1920 alone, 69 children ran away from the school.[12]

The school closed in 1934 and was converted to the Hayward Area Memorial Hospital.[17]

Hayward is a popular fishing destination because of the many lakes in the area, including Lac Courte Oreilles, Grindstone Lake, Round Lake, Moose Lake, Spider Lake, Windigo Lake, and the Chippewa Flowage, which are known for yielding trophy-sized muskellunge, northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass. It is also home to the "Quiet Lakes" (Teal, Ghost and Lost Land Lakes), which do not allow water sports.

The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame is in Hayward. It contains a 143-foot (44 m) fiberglass musky, the world's largest fiberglass structure.[25] Tourists can climb up into the fish's mouth and look over the town, as well as Lake Hayward. In addition to fishing, Hayward is also a hot spot for deer hunting, golfing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, and road and mountain biking.
