FOND DU LAC COUNTY

General Info

Once home to Winnebago Indian tribes, Fond du Lac County was settled in the 1830s and established in 1836. By 1850 the area was organized and communities were founded as pioneers were attracted to the ample timber, fertile soil and water supply. The City of Fond du Lac was selected as the county seat and the area continued to thrive. Railroad development allowed for dramatic growth and early industry was led by agriculture and lumbering. By 1900 its population had reached 47,589 and the area continued to prosper. Today Fond du Lac County is home to approximately 100,070 residents.
