1634年,法國人尼科萊(Jean Nicolet)是第一位抵達威斯康辛州的歐洲探險家。直至1763年割讓予英國前,這個區域一直是由法國人所統治。威斯康辛州是一個法文字的英文版本,而這個法文字是改編自一個印地安名稱,意為「我們居住的地方」。威斯康辛地區於1836年形成,在1848年加入聯邦,成為美國第30州。威斯康辛州別號「美國的乳品產地」(America's Dairyland),所以毫不意外的,它想當然爾是美國主要的牛奶、乳酪及奶油的生產州之一。事實上,綠灣包裝人足球隊的忠誠球迷,就稱呼他們自己為「乳酪頭」(cheeseheads)。該州的第一大都市:密耳瓦基,讓威斯康辛州成為國內最大的工業州之一。而威斯康辛州的首府:麥迪遜是威斯康辛大學的所在地。「獾之州」(Badger State)的州花是木生紫羅蘭,州鳥是知更鳥。

In 1634, Frenchman Jean Nicolet became Wisconsin's first European explorer. The French controlled the area until 1763, when it was ceded to the British. The state's name is an English version of a French adaptation of an Indian name said to mean "the place where we live." The Wisconsin Territory was formed in 1836 and was admitted into the Union as the 30th state in 1848. With the nickname "America's Dairyland," it's no surprise that Wisconsin is one of the top producers of milk, cheese, and butter in the country. In fact, the loyal fans of the Green Bay Packers football team call themselves "cheeseheads." Milwaukee, the state's largest city, helps make Wisconsin one of the largest manufacturing states in the nation. The state capital, Madison, is home to the University of Wisconsin. The flower of the "Badger State" is the wood violet and the state bird is the robin.
