Pepin County

Pepin County is a county in western Wisconsin comprising farmland and areas along the Mississippi River. Its government offices are located in Durand, serving the communities and residents across its territory.

The area was created in 1858 when it separated from Dunn County, with Durand chosen as the seat of local government. This separation was part of how Wisconsin organized its regional administration in the mid-1800s.

The place is known for its agricultural roots, with community events that bring people together throughout the year to celebrate local traditions. Visitors notice how farming and river life have shaped the identity of towns and villages here.

Visitors can find public services and county offices in Durand, the main town. The area is easiest to explore during warmer months when travel conditions are most comfortable.

This place is known as one of the smallest counties in Wisconsin and features a rare mix of river and farmland together. Such a combination of waterfront and agricultural areas working side by side is uncommon in the wider region.
