Kewaunee County, Administrative division in Wisconsin, US.
Kewaunee County is an administrative division in eastern Wisconsin that stretches along the western shore of Lake Michigan. The territory combines agricultural areas with waterfront geography and benefits from abundant fish populations in the lake.
The territory was established as an administrative division in 1852 following the acquisition of the region from the Menominee Nation through the 1831 Treaty of Washington. This founding marked the formal organization of an area with a long history of habitation.
The county's agricultural heritage shapes daily life, with dairy and vegetable farming defining the landscape and local economy. Farm stands and seasonal markets reflect how residents connect with the land and growing seasons throughout the year.
The division is managed through local administrative offices that provide public services. Visitors can find key information online or by visiting the county's administrative buildings.
The waters of the region were home to Wisconsin's state record rainbow trout, caught in 1997. The area remains a significant site for salmon fishing across the state.
