Racine County, Administrative county in southeastern Wisconsin, United States.
Racine County extends over 792 square miles, including 333 square miles of land and 460 square miles of water along Lake Michigan.
The county, established in 1836 during the Wisconsin Territory period, initially included the land that later became Kenosha County in 1850.
The Root River, flowing through multiple communities in the county, influenced the development of settlements and local traditions since its formation.
The county maintains several departments that manage public services, including health facilities, parks, transportation networks, and housing assistance programs.
The water covers 58 percent of the total county area, making it one of the few Wisconsin counties where water surpasses land coverage.
