Irish Sauk County Online Presentation by Sauk County Historical Society (SCHS) Executive Director Paul Wolter. By 1870 nearly 1,000 Irish men, women, and children had come to Sauk County to settle, making up 5% of the county's population. If the second generation of Irish-Americans is added, Sauk County's population was even more Irish. The northern Sauk County town of Dellona is one particular area the Irish settled and was originally known as Sligo after the county of the same name in Ireland.
