Monticello, Wisconsin
Population: 3,029
Located in Green County
The rolling hills of Green County are a perfect backdrop for New Glarus, known as America's "Little Switzerland". Settled in 1845 by Swiss scouts who were looking for new land, New Glarus has received a steady stream of Swiss immigrants since that time. Tourism is a major supporter of the economy and visitors to the area may partake of authentic Swiss cuisine and unique shops. Cheese making was the industry that supported the development of communities in rural Wisconsin and it continues to be important to New Glarus. Green County offers a variety of recreational opportunities including golfing, biking, snowmobiling, camping, hiking, and skiing. Several area state parks are available for fishing and hunting. Numerous festivals are held throughout the year which celebrate the town's Swiss heritage. In addition, special shops, museums, and restaurants insure that you will experience the flavor of Switzerland in the middle of Wisconsin.
