Argyle
Argyle was founded in 1844 by Allen Wright, a Scotsman who named it after the Duke of Argyle. In 1855, the first bridge was built here over the Pecatonica River. The bridge was replaced in 1875 and again in 1895. Yet another bridge, the much admired two-span camelback truss bridge, was built in 1939 [at] a cost of $69,400. The current concrete bridge replaced it in 2002.
