La Crosse, County seat on Mississippi River in Wisconsin, United States.
The city extends across both sides of the Mississippi River, featuring neighborhoods connected by bridges and surrounded by limestone bluffs.
La Crosse emerged as a major lumber processing center in 1842 when the first permanent European settler established a trading post.
