History

Formed in 1836 from Brown County, Milwaukee County and Portage County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Dodge County was created by Wisconsin Territory on December 7, 1836, from Brown County and Milwaukee County, and initially overlapped the eastern part of Portage County until the dispute was settled on January 12, 1838. The county was organized for all purposes of government in 1840 and fully organized and detached from judicial oversight in 1844, becoming a county in the state of Wisconsin in 1848.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
