Platteville, Academic city in Grant County, Wisconsin, United States.
Located at an elevation of 302 meters, Platteville extends across Grant County with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville at its center point.
The discovery of lead deposits in the early 1800s transformed Platteville from a small settlement into a significant mining center in Wisconsin.
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville shapes the city's identity through academic programs, research initiatives, and regular educational events throughout the year.
Highway 151 connects Platteville to major urban centers, while the local hospital provides medical services to residents and surrounding communities.
A limestone structure measuring 214 feet by 241 feet forms the world's largest 'M' at Platteville Mound, marking the site of America's first mining school.
