Wisconsin counties

This is a list of 72 counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The state of Wisconsin was created from Wisconsin Territory on May 29, 1848 with 28 counties.

Counties in Wisconsin are run by county boards, headed by a chairperson. Counties with a population of 500,000 or more must have a county executive as well. Smaller counties may either have a county executive of a county administrator.[1] As of 2009, eleven counties have county executives: Brown, Dane, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Outagamie, Portage, Racine, Waukesha, and Winnebago.[2]

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, which is used by the United States government to uniquely identify states and counties, is provided with each entry.[3] Wisconsin's code is 55, which when combined with any county code would be written as 55XXX. The FIPS code for each county links to census data for that county.[4]
