NOTES
Additional Information:2023 - The Town of Preble grew rapidly in the post-war period as a suburb of Green Bay. Beyond simply providing municipal services, the town also began to provide parks and monuments recognizing its distinct history and identity. In 1959 Preble erected an 8-foot stone monument and a sign for the new Preble Park along Skyline Boulevard. The two objects were dedicated by U.S. Senator Proxmire at the time.
