Grant County, Administrative county in southwestern Wisconsin, United States.
Grant County extends across 3,065 square kilometers of rolling hills, forests, and rivers in the southwestern portion of Wisconsin state.
The county, established in 1836 from parts of Iowa County, developed through lead mining activities that attracted numerous settlers during the 19th century.
The county maintains several historic landmarks, including churches, courthouses, and homes that reflect the architectural styles from its early settlement period.
Lancaster serves as the administrative center of Grant County, housing government offices, public services, and essential facilities for residents and visitors.
Lead mining operations in the 1800s shaped the development of multiple towns within Grant County, establishing the foundation for its current economic structure.
