Dunn County

Dunn County is an administrative division in western Wisconsin that encompasses several municipalities with Menomonie serving as the county seat. The territory includes numerous parks, trails, and natural areas distributed throughout the region.

The Wisconsin State Legislature created this county in 1854, naming it after Charles Dunn, the first chief justice of Wisconsin Territory. This establishment shaped the administrative structure of the western region.

The county maintains active community engagement through regular board meetings, committee sessions, and public gatherings that address local matters and developments.

Visitors and residents can access county services at the main administrative building in Menomonie, which is easy to reach. Planning visits during weekday hours ensures you will find staff available to assist with inquiries.

The Department of Administration coordinates with multiple agencies to manage county properties, implement safety programs, and oversee financial planning for future needs.
