Wisconsin map

Greetings from the Badger state

Wisconsin became the 30th state in 1848. The state was named after the Wisconsin River.

The nickname of "Badger State" refers to the lead miners of the 1830's who lived underground

in temporary caves cut in the hillsides. Wisconsin is identified as America's Dairyland because

of Wisconsin's dairy farms which lead the nation in the production of milk, cheese and butter.
