The state's name is an English version of a French adaptation of an
Indian name said to mean "the place where we live." In 1634,
Frenchman Jean Nicolet became Wisconsin's first European explorer.
The French controlled the area until 1763, when it was ceded to the
British. In 1848, Wisconsin was admitted as the 30th state.
Wisconsin's natural beauty has made the state a favorite playground
of the nation. Vacationers enjoy the state's clean lakes, rolling
hills, quiet valleys, deep forests and cool, pine-scented breezes.
The winters are ideal for skating, skiing, snowmobiling and
tobogganing. Many communities stage curling matches during the
winter and others hold snowmobile derbies. Many annual events
celebrate the state's rich ethnic heritage and diversity.
