About Racine County:
Racine County, created in 1836 as a territorial county, is named for the Root River ("racine" is French for "root"). Located in southeast Wisconsin, Racine county is home to over 196,000 people and the county seat is Racine. For nearly 170 years, Racine County has been a mix of what's best about Wisconsin and the Midwest. If you like quiet towns, you'll not do better than some of our quaint and quiet communities, like Waterford and Rochester. If you like thriving, but accessible cities, you’ll want to savor the smells of Burlington — with its Nestle chocolate plant — and take in the sights of Racine — with its Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and exciting downtown. If you appreciate the serenity of rolling farmland, you’ll want to spend time on our town and county highways, which include some spectacular rustic roads. And if you love the water, you might find it hard to choose between Lake Michigan to the east and a cluster of delightful inland lakes to the west.
Racine county offers a wide variety of outdoor activities and a full range of cultural activities, community events, festivals, great theatrical presentations, symphony, art festivals, historical events and more.
