From pp 62-79, July 1984 issue of "Cedar County Historical Review".
Red Oak Grove was first
settled by 22-year-old Washington Rigby in October 1836,
after he found the three necessities of a pioneer home:
wood, water and rich earth. The area was, at the time, part
of the Blackhawk Purchase, Dubuque County, Wisconsin
Territory. The name of the Red Oak Post Office was changed
to Shilo in 1871. It should be noted that many of the early
settlers of Red Oak Grove were Scots. Other names are
mentioned in this chapter, but not as early settlers.
The following people are
named as residents, some students, in Red Oak Grove, before
