The town of Lafayette was organized in the spring of 1856. It broke off from the town of Angelo. The first town meeting was organized by L.A. Farr in April, 1856. On that day the town's first election was held with a total of 34 votes cast. The number of people voting gradually increase as when the election was held in 1868, 98 votes were cast. In 1871 or 1872, the county board annexed town nineteen, formerly known as Eaton, which most people in the town were opposed to. A petition followed and by 1872 or 1873, the disputed area was removed and became the town of New Lyme.
Today Lafayette is a small town within Sparta, WI. The Town Hall is located just of County Hwy Q. The Town Hall is a square building with siding and a unique edging around the roof.
