The first settler to the area was Andrew Eble, who came from Milwaukee in 1855 and built a sawmill on the East Branch of the Milwaukee River. He gave his name to the community known as Ebleville before he died in an accidental shooting in 1859. At around the same time, a neighboring area was settled by people from Newfane, New York, and were granted a post office in 1852. In 1875, the New Fane post office was moved to Ebleville, and this area became known as New Fane. The post office was eventually removed in 1909.[3][4]
