The Flag of Wisconsin
Wisconsin ( wiss-KON -sin ) is a state in the Upper Midwestern region of the United States. It borders Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin is the 25th-largest state by land area and the 20th-most populous .
The bulk of Wisconsin's population live in areas situated along the shores of Lake Michigan. The largest city, Milwaukee , anchors its largest metropolitan area , followed by Green Bay and Kenosha , the third- and fourth-most-populated Wisconsin cities, respectively. The state capital, Madison , is currently the second-most-populated and fastest-growing city in the state. Wisconsin is divided into 72 counties and as of the 2020 census had a population of nearly 5.9 million.
Wisconsin's geography is diverse, having been greatly impacted by glaciers during the Ice Age with the exception of the Driftless Area . The Northern Highland and Western Upland along with a part of the Central Plain occupy the western part of the state, with lowlands stretching to the shore of Lake Michigan. Wisconsin is third to Ontario and Michigan in the length of its Great Lakes coastline. The northern portion of the state is home to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest . At the time of European contact, the area was inhabited by Algonquian and Siouan nations, and today it is home to eleven federally recognized tribes . During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many European settlers entered the state, most of whom emigrated from Germany and Scandinavia . Wisconsin remains a center of German American and Scandinavian American culture, particularly in respect to its cuisine , with foods such as bratwurst and kringle . Wisconsin is home to one UNESCO World Heritage Site , comprising two of the most significant buildings designed by Wisconsin-born architect Frank Lloyd Wright : his studio at Taliesin near Spring Green and his Jacobs I House in Madison.

The Bad Axe Massacre was a massacre of Sauk (Sac) and Fox Indians by United States Army regulars and militia that occurred on August 1–2, 1832. This final scene of the Black Hawk War took place near present-day Victory , Wisconsin , in the United States . It marked the end of the war between white settlers and militia in Illinois and Michigan Territory , and the Sauk and Fox tribes under warrior Black Hawk .
The massacre occurred in the aftermath of the
Battle of Wisconsin Heights , as Black Hawk's band fled the pursuing militia. The militia caught up with them on the eastern bank of the
Mississippi River , a few miles downstream from the mouth of the
Bad Axe River . Historians have called it a
massacre since the 1850s. The fighting took place over two days, with the steamboat
Warrior present on both days. By the second day, Black Hawk and most of the Native American leaders had fled, though many of the band stayed behind. The victory for the United States was brutal and decisive and the end of the war allowed much of Illinois and present-day Wisconsin to be opened for further settlement. (
