Sauk City is a village in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States, located along the Wisconsin River. The population was 3,518 as of the 2020 census. The first incorporated village in the state, the community was founded by Agoston Haraszthy and his business partner, Robert Bryant in the 1840s. == History == A large village of the Sauk people stood beside the Wisconsin River on the site of Sauk City before the first European-Americans settled there. The Sauk probably arrived around 1746, driven from previous homes in the Fox River valley. In 1766 the explorer Jonathan Carver visited the village, and described what he called the "Great Town of the Saukies": This is the largest and best built Indian town I ever saw. It contains about ninety houses, each large enough for several families. These are built of hewn plank neatly jointed, and covered with bark so compactly as to keep out the most penetrating rains. Before the doors are placed comfortable sheds, in which the inhabitants sit, when the weather will permit, and smoak their pipes. The streets are regular and spacious; so that it appears more like a civilized town than the abode of savages.
