The Greater Milwaukee area is home to roughly 1/3 of the state's population. The name Wisconsin in the Ojibwe language, means "muskrat~lodge place" or "little muskrat place." Wisconsin, bordered by the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois, as well as Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, has been part of the United States territory since the end of the American Revolution. The United States acquired the Wisconsin territory in 1783 but it remained under British administration until the War of 1812. Wisconsin ratified its constitution on Mar 13, 1848, and was admitted to the Union on May 29, 1848, as the 30th state. With its location between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, Wisconsin is home to a wide variety of geographical features. The state's boundaries include the Mississippi River and St.Croix River in the west, and the Menominee River in the northeast.

Wisconsin is reknowned for the prevalence and quality of its cheesemaking. It leads the nation in cheese production, and makes more dairy products than any other state in the United States except California. Wisconsin's self~promotion as "America's Dairyland" sometimes leads to a mistaken impression that it is an exclusively rural state. The economy of Wisconsin is driven by manufacturing, agriculture, and health~care. Manufacturing accounts for a far greater part of the state's income than farming. A lesser known, but still significant nickname for Wisconsin is "The Copper State," referring to the copper mines in the northwestern part of the state.
