On this day in 1835, the Michigan legislature incorporated the Wisconsin Internal Improvement Company to open communication between Green Bay and the Mississippi by land or water. The Governor of the Michigan territory (the Wisconsin territory was not yet created), Stevens T. Mason, also officially called for creating a western legislative council. Both actions were critical to the creation of the Wisconsin Territory.

Also on this day in 1835, the first Great Moon Hoax article is published in The New York Sun, announcing the discovery of life and civilization on the Moon.
