The first inhabitants of the area were Native Americans. They lived in the area often referred to in early Duluth references as "the land up over the hill." In 1867, August Kohlts and his friend, Lambert "Pat" Acker, filed for homesteads in Section 18, Township 50 North, Range 15 West. Both families had emigrated from Prussia. Acker arrived about age five with his parents and siblings around 1835 and settled in Erie County, New York. He married Emelie Louisa Wilke on January 12, 1850.
