About Washington County:

This area of Southeastern Wisconsin has become one of the fastest growing areas in the state. Conveniently linked to Milwaukee and Fond du Lac along the Interstate 45 and Highway 41 corridors, this location is an ideal center for trade, business and raising a family. Today’s population of just over 126,000 enjoys the pace of the cosmopolitan Metro-Milwaukee area, while offering residents a small-town living environment.

The variety of businesses and industries in the local economy provide a sound and balanced job base for area residents. Proud to be headquartered in the county are Broan-NuTone, Gehl Company, Helgesen Industries, Regal Ware, Serigraph, Signicast and West Bend Mutual Insurance Company. Quad Graphics has a world-class printing facility located here. We are a rich blend of business, industry, recreation and culture nestled in the rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine featuring pristine natural resources and surroundings.

Our success and rapid expansion is based on the strength of our citizens and community leaders. Community leaders embrace this exciting growth. The City of West Bend serves as the county seat. An elected Chairman and 30 elected Board Supervisors represent the people. Municipal government is responsible for representing the residents of its 12 towns, 6 villages and 2 cities.
