Wisconsin Dells, Fourth-class city in Wisconsin, United States.
Wisconsin Dells extends across four counties - Adams, Columbia, Juneau, and Sauk - at an elevation of 277 meters above sea level.
The Wisconsin Hydraulic Company established the settlement in 1856, initially naming it Kilbourn City before changing to Wisconsin Dells in 1931.
The land holds deep connections to Native American tribes, with the Ho-Chunk people naming the area Nįįš hakiisųc, referring to the distinctive rock formations.
The city maintains multiple water service lines across its territory and implements regular infrastructure improvements through systematic municipal planning.
French explorers named the area 'dalles' due to the natural sandstone gorge formations along the Wisconsin River created by glacial erosion.
