Kenosha County, Wisconsin
Kenosha County is on the southeastern edge of Wisconsin, right along Lake Michigan. It has a bit of everything. The lakefront is a huge draw, with beaches and marinas packed in summer.
Kenosha is the biggest city, with a cool downtown and streetcars. But head west and it’s all farms and small towns. The county has deep roots in manufacturing.
Cars were big here for decades. These days it’s more diverse. Folks commute to Milwaukee or Chicago for work. It’s a place that’s changing, but holding onto its character.

Forget the beer and cheese stereotypes. Wisconsin’s 72 counties have more going on than tailgates and taverns. Some hug Great Lakes shorelines, others stretch through dairy farms, forests, or rolling bluffs.
