About Janesville
Janesville is a city located in southern Wisconsin, along the Rock River. It was founded in 1835 and named after its first settler, Henry F. Janes. Janesville quickly grew as a center for trade and industry, thanks to its strategic location on the river and its proximity to major transportation routes. The city became known for its manufacturing sector, particularly in the production of agricultural machinery, which led to its nickname "Wisconsin's Park Place."
Freight transportation has played a significant role in Janesville's history and development. In the 19th century, the Rock River served as a vital transportation route for the city, allowing goods to be transported by boat to other parts of the state and beyond. The arrival of the railroad in the late 1850s further enhanced Janesville's transportation capabilities, connecting the city to larger markets and facilitating the movement of goods. Today, Janesville continues to be a hub for freight transportation, with a network of highways and interstates that provide easy access to regional and national markets.
