About:

Welcome to Walworth County, land of rolling hills, meadows, woods, lakes and winding streams. We provide a place for everyone and is conveniently located in the southeast corner of the state within driving distance of Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago.


Walworth County was first organized in 1838 when Milwaukee County was subdivided. It was named after Judge Rueben H. Walworth, chancellor of New York State. The first election of officers was in the fall of 1838, and in December of 1839, Elkhorn was made the county seat. Shortly after, the first county board was formed. The first courthouse was built in 1839 by Rockwell in the north part of Elkhorn. 


The Wisconsin School for the Deaf was organized in 1852. The school stood on thirty-four acres of land in Delavan and began with eight pupils. A State Normal School at Whitewater was established in 1868 by Professor Oliver Arey.


The County’s first newspaper, the “Western Star,” was published in 1845 by George Gale and Francis Utter. The oldest newspaper that is still being published is the “Elkhorn Independent” begun by Edgar J. and Alonzo L. Farnum in 1853. [Read on]
