Door County Summary
Door County, Wisconsin is a peninsula located in the northeastern part of the state, bordered by Lake Michigan to the east and Green Bay to the west. It is the largest county in Wisconsin, covering an area of 2,370 square miles. The county is home to over 28,000 people, and is known for its picturesque scenery, quaint towns, and abundance of outdoor activities.
History
The area now known as Door County was first inhabited by the Potawatomi and Menominee Native American tribes. The first Europeans to explore the area were French fur traders in the late 1600s. In the early 1800s, the area was part of the Northwest Territory, and was later included in the Wisconsin Territory. In 1851, Door County was officially established as a county.
The county was named after the strait between the Door Peninsula and Washington Island, which was named by early French explorers. The strait was originally called Porte des Morts, or “Death’s Door”, due to the dangerous currents and rocky shoals.
The county’s economy was largely based on fishing and lumbering in the 19th century. In the late 1800s, the county began to attract tourists, and the fishing industry began to decline. Tourism remains an important part of the county’s economy today.
