Home to over 450,000, Dane County is Wisconsin's second most populous county and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and prosperous. Vibrant and cosmopolitan Madison is the the region's economic hub and home to Wisconsin's Capitol and the world-class University of Wisconsin. The county is sprinkled with cities, villages, and hamlets to suit any taste. The gentle, rolling hills of the eastern half of the county are home to many of the county's nearly 600,000 acres of farmland. Beyond the furthest advance of ancient glacial ice western Dane County is marked with dramatic terrain and scenic views. Over thirty freshwater lakes, including the notorious "Four Lakes" Kegonsa, Waubesa, Monona, and Mendota, add to the natural splendor and provide countless recreational opportunities.
Madison is a city with an opportunity for everyone. Economically robust Madison continues to grow, setting the standard for commercial and residential building for the state. High marks for education, recreation, and public safety continue to place Madison on the top of lists of livable, workable, and playable cities. Home to the state government and 40,000 students, Madison is also manufacturer of batteries, ice cream, dolls, and B-O-L-O-G-N-A. A Frank Lloyd Wright convention center, a new downtown arts district, major college athletics, and one of the best free zoos around are guaranteed to captivate any audience. Unique and diverse Madisonians assure you will find a neighborhood for every personality. There is little doubt why so many are proud to call Madison, home.
