The first three counties in Wisconsin were formed in 1818: Brown County in the east, Crawford County in the west and (now defunct) Michilimackinac in the north.
As the population increased, Iowa County was added in the southeast in 1829 and Milwaukee County was added in 1834. In 1836 the Wisconsin Territory was created which led to the formation of 15 new counties within the territory: Calumet, Dane, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Grant, Green, Jefferson, Manitowac, Marquette, Portage, Racine, Rock, Sheboygan, Walworth and Washington.
