Lead had many uses at the time, and settlers began to flock to the region hoping to make a living by extracting the easily accessible mineral. Lead deposits extended throughout an area that also included <a href="/wiki/Dubuque,_Iowa" title="Dubuque, Iowa">Dubuque, Iowa</a> and <a href="/wiki/Galena,_Illinois" title="Galena, Illinois">Galena, Illinois</a>, but Mineral Point became the center of lead mining operations within the bounds of present-day Wisconsin (then part of <a href="/wiki/Michigan_Territory" title="Michigan Territory">Michigan Territory</a>). By 1829, the region's growing population led to the creation of <a href="/wiki/Iowa_County,_Wisconsin" title="Iowa County, Wisconsin">Iowa County</a>, which included all of the lead mining lands within the territory. Mineral Point was established as the <a href="/wiki/County_seat" title="County seat">county seat</a> later that year.
