| Abstract from DBPedia | Wisconsin (/wɪˈskɒnsɪn/) is a state in the upper Midwestern United States. Wisconsin is the 25th-largest state by total area and the 20th-most populous. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. The bulk of Wisconsin's population live in areas situated along the shores of Lake Michigan. The largest city, Milwaukee, anchors its largest metropolitan area, followed by Green Bay and Kenosha, the third- and fourth-most-populated Wisconsin cities respectively. The state capital, Madison, is currently the second-most-populated and fastest-growing city in the state. Wisconsin is divided into 72 counties and as of the 2020 census had a population of nearly 5.9 million. Wisconsin's geography is diverse, having been greatly impacted by glaciers during the Ice Age with the exception of the Driftless Area. The Northern Highland and Western Upland along with a part of the Central Plain occupy the western part of the state, with lowlands stretching to the shore of Lake Michigan. Wisconsin is third to Ontario and Michigan in the length of its Great Lakes coastline. The northern portion of the state is home to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. At the time of European contact the area was inhabited by Algonquian and Siouan nations, and today is home to eleven federally recognized tribes. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many European settlers entered the state, most of whom emigrated from Germany and Scandinavia. Wisconsin remains a center of German American and Scandinavian American culture, particularly in respect to its cuisine, with foods such as bratwurst and kringle. Wisconsin is home to one UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprising two of the most significant buildings designed by Wisconsin-born architect Frank Lloyd Wright: his studio at Taliesin near Spring Green and his Jacobs I House in Madison. The state is one of the nation's leading dairy producers and is known as "America's Dairyland"; it is particularly famous for its cheese. The state is also famous for its beer, particularly and historically in Milwaukee, most notably as the headquarters of the Miller Brewing Company. Wisconsin has some of the most permissive alcohol laws in the country and is well known for its drinking culture. Its economy is dominated by manufacturing, healthcare, information technology, and agriculture—specifically dairy, cranberries and ginseng. Tourism is also a major contributor to the state's economy. The gross domestic product in 2020 was $348 billion.ウィスコンシン州State of Wisconsin 州の愛称: アメリカアナグマ州（The Badger State）酪農の国（Dairy Country）州のモットー: 進むForward ウィスコンシン州（ウィスコンシンしゅう、英: State of Wisconsin [wɪsˈkɒnsɨn]）は、アメリカ合衆国の中西部の最北に位置する州。五大湖地域にも含まれる。合衆国50州の中で陸地面積では第23位、人口では第20位である。前身のウィスコンシン準州から1848年5月29日に合衆国30番目の州に昇格した。東側はミシガン湖に、北東はミシガン州に、西側はミネソタ州とアイオワ州に、南側はイリノイ州に、北側はスペリオル湖に接している。州都はマディソン市、人口最大の都市はミルウォーキー市である。 愛称は「Dairy Country（酪農の国）」または「The Badger State（あなぐま州）」。アメリカアナグマ（バジャー）は州のシンボルでもあり、19世紀前半、ウィスコンシン州が国内の鉛の半分以上を産出した鉛ラッシュ時代に、鉛鉱山で働く鉱夫とその家族が地上に住居が完成するまで坑道に住んだことから「アナグマ」と呼ばれたことが元になっている。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Wisconsin) |
