Early settlers used buff limestone for houses and public buildings still visible in Rockford, Rockton, Beloit, and South Beloit. The area also featured fine sand deposits and high- quality clay that was attractive to industries. Earliest Residents Many Peoples have inhabited South Beloit over the years, including the Mound Builders, Sioux, and Illinswek (Illinois). Around 1830, a large Ho-Chunk village known as Ke-Chunk (Turtle Village) existed near the mouth of Turtle Creek close to the Illinois-Wisconsin state line in what is now Beloit, Wisconsin or South Beloit, Illinois. The word Ke-chunk (properly Kečąk), means “turtle” and was used to denote the Ho-Chunk village on Turtle Creek. New Resident Information Welcome Home!
