The Town of Bristol was a former town in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 4,538 at the 2000 census—before a portion of the town was incorporated as the Village of Bristol. The remainder of the Town of Bristol was annexed by the Villages of Bristol and Pleasant Prairie effective July 4, 2010, and the town ceased to exist.

History

The Bristol area's first settler was Rollin Tuttle, who arrived in April 1830; Levi Grant arrived the following month.[3]

Border dispute

The Town of Bristol was involved in annexation disputes with Pleasant Prairie during the 1990s. The two entities reached a boundary agreement in 1997; as a result, the Circuit Court of Kenosha County dismissed motions by Pleasant Prairie to annex portions of the town.[4]

Dis-establishment

In 1968, a state court denied the Town of Bristol's earlier petition to incorporate itself as a village.[5]

On January 19, 2009, a state court rejected an attempt by the western half of Bristol to incorporate, which had been filed in 2008. A second attempt to incorporate a smaller section of the northwest corner of the town (filed in March 2009) was approved by the court on September 17, 2009[5] and was enacted with the incorporation of the Village of Bristol that year.

On June 29, 2010, in a special election, most of the remainder of the town of Bristol was annexed to the village of Bristol (effective July 4, 2010), while a small section of the town was annexed to the village of Pleasant Prairie.[6] The town of Bristol ceased to exist.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2000 the town had a total area of 35.0 square miles (90.8 km²), of which, 34.7 square miles (89.9 km²) of it was land and 0.3 square miles (0.9 km²) of it (0.97%) was water. Bristol has a variety of neighborhoods, including country estates, lake homes, subdivisions, condominiums, row homes, and working agricultural areas.

In 2009, the Village of Bristol incorporated, removing approximately {{convert|9|mi2|km2}} from the towns acreage.[4]
