Wisconsin is a state in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions 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. With a population of about 6 million, and an area of about 65,500 square miles (170,000 km²), Wisconsin is the 21st-largest state by population and the 23rd-largest by area. Wisconsin has 72 counties. The state's most populous city is Milwaukee. Its capital and second-most populous city is Madison. Other urban areas include Green Bay and the Fox Cities.
Wisconsin's geography is diverse, with dense forests in the north (including Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest), rugged unglaciated hills in the western Driftless Area, and wooded plains, lowlands, and farms stretching from the interior east to Lake Michigan. Wisconsin has the third-longest Great Lakes coastline, after Ontario and Michigan. 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. Wisconsin was originally part of the Northwest Territory and was admitted as a state in 1848. Many European settlers entered the state during the 19th and early 20th centuries, predominantly from Germany and Scandinavia. Wisconsin remains a center of German American and Scandinavian American culture, particularly in its cuisine, with foods such as bratwurst and kringle.
