The area now called Wisconsin was first inhabited by various Native American tribes including the Chippewa, Menominee, Oneida, Potawatomi and Ho Chunk (Winnebago) tribes who lived in the area until the late 1800s. The first European explorer to reach Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet who found the area whilst searching for the Northwest Passage to China in 1634. As a result, France claimed Wisconsin as part of its New World territories in 1672.

Explorer Father Jacques Marquette wrote in 1673, "The river on which we embarked is called 'Meskousing'. It's very wide, it has a sandy bottom." Spelled in different ways, this name was used for the region surrounding the river. The present spelling, "Wisconsin," was formalized in 1845.

Wisconsin was part of the territory ceded in 1763, by France to Great Britain under the Treaty of Paris. British relinquished their claim to Wisconsin some twenty years later for it to become a part of the United States of America.

The Northwest Ordinance (1787), made Wisconsin part of the great territory north and west of the Ohio River from which Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin were created.

The Wisconsin territory was created in 1836, to include what are now the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and parts of the Dakotas. The first territorial legislature met at Belmont about 5.5 miles northeast of Platteville. The two story frame building and grounds surrounding the first state Capitol are now a state park.

In 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state to join the Union. The present Capitol building in Madison was erected between 1906 and 1917 and is the third one built on the site.

A contemporary commentary..

"Today the German and Scandinavian cultures tend to have something of a collectivist and "every man" bent, which have been ingrained into our state culture as well. The lack of "fire and brimstone" preaching, as well as the rural lack of diversity) tends to foster a "beer hall" sense of community as opposed to a "congregational/sectarian" sense that you get in the bible belt.

In Wisconsin you can wear whatever you want, you are only likely to get comments if you wear the wrong jersey or dress too well, and Catholic or not you keep the fish fry holy and order your old fashioned. Normal in Wisconsin is not normal anywhere else, and definitely prides itself on middle-class humbleness. (reddit)

Wisconsin is located between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, is home to a wide variety of geographical features. The state can generally be divided into five distinct regions—Lake Superior Lowland, Northern Highland, Central Plain, Western Upland, and Eastern Ridges & Lowlands.

To the east of Wisconsin is Lake Michigan and the western border is the Mississippi River on the west. A line placed across the map through the prairies by surveyors in 1832 divides Wisconsin from Illinois. In 1847 Another line divided the state from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The shore of the lakes eastern border is low, sandy and marshy with very few harbors deep enough to handle large ships. Wisconsin's western border is marked by immense bluffs overlooking the Mississippi with steep ravines. To the south the border crosses flat, fertile land with shallow rivers. The northern state boundary goes through dark forest, high wetlands, and lakes.

The rich prairie becomes more hilly from the east to the west in southern Wisconsin. Madison has few large tracts of level land to the west. The northern forest is very dense to the center of Wisconsin and grows thinner southward, and then gives way to open lands past Green Bay and Prairie du Chien.
