Hayton is an unincorporated community in the town of Charlestown, Calumet County, Wisconsin, United States. It is located a few miles (kilometers) east of Chilton at the intersection of U.S. Route 151 and County T.[1]
The Killsnake River, a fork of the Manitowoc River, flows eastward through the community.[1] It is dammed by a mill and the sediments have been contaminated by PCBs.[2]
Hayton was the first settlement on the Killsnake River.[3] It was settled in the 1840s by William Urmston and it was originally named Wallersville after one of the landowners before it was renamed Hayton.
