How Many Countries are in Wisconsin?

[GB12]

The tavern of the game winner of tonight's game really got me thinking about this. How many cities are there in our state that are named after countries?

[parkside21]

Hmm....Denmark....Luxembourg...are you counting Germantown or Hollandtown? Norway is in Michigan, right?

 

Yay for geography questions.

[dadofandrew]

I was going to say I think there are 72 counties...I'm sure tons of towns are named after nations, or former nations...I'll guess 64.

Berlin, New Berlin, Belgium

 

 

edited to say--I'm clearly a dope. Of course Berlin is a city. Not sure why I posted it as an answer, but that was boneheaded.

 

Is Wales its own country? I think so. . .but with my recent track record, maybe that's dumb, too. . .

I also think there's a Peru, Wisconsin. . .

Berlin is a city.

[DHonks]

Baghdad!

[homer]

Poland...I think.

[Fatter than Joey]

I bet its less than 15

[lcbj68c]

I couldn't recognize any. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...st_of_cities_in_Wisconsin

 

Perhaps the list has to be expanded to towns, townships, unincorporated areas and villages?

[lcbj68c]

Two Villages include Belgium & Luxemborg http://en.wikipedia.org/w..._of_villages_in_Wisconsin

 

If somebody wants to go through the 1300 towns, go for it http://en.wikipedia.org/w...ist_of_towns_in_Wisconsin

I'm too tired.

Norway is in Michigan, right?

 

The town of Norway is in Racine County, bordering on Muskego and extending to near Franklin.

[InsomniacInkRoss]

Does Sparta in Monroe County count?

[bullox]

Sparta is also a city, in Greece.

[sbrylski]

Not all nations, but more:

 

Poland, Alaska, New London

[TooLiveBrew]

Of course the nation of Oconomowoc lies hidden behind Luxembourg's nefarious cape.

[T B0NE 10]

Scandinavia (not a country but close)

[Fatter than Joey]

Cuba City.

[JumpinMacFlash]

Well, none of these are countries, but Ontario, Lisbon, Lima, West Lima.

[parkside21]

I believe "Milwaukee" is Algonquin for the country once known as, "The Great Land". I also believe it has an alternate pronunciation.

[SeriesFinale]

The People's Republic of Hillsboro

 

No?

[JumpinMacFlash]

Dah!

[olliegjw]

There is a Chile, WI

[SeriesFinale]

Dah!

My folks live in Ontario, I knew you might appreciate a good old fashioned Kickapoo Valley joke

Spread Eagle is a sovereign nation in the vast Himalayas.

 

Also, Djibouti.

Belgium, Brussels (great hashbrown sandwiches at the Countryside Resturant), Chili (either the Town or the country is spellling it wrong), Eden (who knows? it might still be a place outside WI), Monico (again, one of them is spelling it wrong).

 

Some of my favorite names of places in WI: LittleSuamico,Krakow,Zachow,Waubeka,Potosi, Pulcifer, Underhill. My all time favorite which no longer exists, it was gobbled up by Menomonee Falls, was Fussville, WI.
