Langlade County, County in northern Wisconsin, United States
Langlade County is an administrative division in northern Wisconsin known for its extensive forested landscape and outdoor recreational opportunities. The region features numerous lakes, hiking trails, and access to hunting and fishing grounds throughout the year.
The territory was established in 1879 initially as New County and renamed in 1880 to honor Charles de Langlade, a significant frontier figure. It became fully organized as an administrative unit in 1881.
The county maintains multiple community traditions through annual events such as farmers markets, a Community Christmas Parade, and the Annual Chili Cook-Off.
