History

From the Portait and Biographical Album of Green Lake, Marquette and Waushara Counties, Wisconsin - Acme Publishing Co. 1890

The town of Deerfield is the second town from the western border of the county in the middle tier of towns. It is bounded north by the town of Oasis, east by the town of Wautoma, south by the town of Dakota and west by the town of Hancock. It is a level, agricultural town and has no streams of importance. Fish Lake extends over its western boundary from the town of Hancock and a little east of the eastern extremity of this lake is a smaller body of water, mostly in section 17. In section 25, in the southeast part of the town is another small body of water which discharges through the White River. This town contains neither village, hamlet or post-office.

Among the early settlers and prominent citizens of this town we may mention P.S. Thurston, James Crowl, Levi Boyce, J.M. Harford, Chalres J. Marshall, S.S. Mills, G.W. Perry, Richard Searles, Ira Wood and Lewis Marshall.
