Dane County is located in the south-central region of the state of Wisconsin. Established in 1836 and named in honor of Nathan Dane, a politician and lawyer who played a significant role in drafting the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the county officially came into being on December 7, 1839. The Northwest Ordinance facilitated the orderly expansion of the United States into the Great Lakes region, setting the stage for Dane County's formation.

The county seat and largest city of Dane County is Madison, which also serves as the state capital of Wisconsin. In the early 19th century, the area's economy primarily focused on agriculture, with farmers producing wheat, corn, and other staple crops. The arrival of railroads in the 1850s boosted trade, linking Dane County to key markets in Milwaukee and Chicago.

Throughout the 20th century, the economy diversified, with dairy farming, manufacturing, and professional services gaining prominence. The establishment of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1848 played a vital role in the county's development, attracting research and intellectual talent that has helped shape the region's identity as a hub for education, culture, and technological innovation.

A fun fact about Dane County is that it is home to the largest producer-only farmers' market in the United States: the Dane County Farmers' Market. Founded in 1972, this market attracts hundreds of vendors and thousands of customers every Saturday to buy fresh produce and local products directly from the producers themselves.
