Jefferson County, located in the southern part of the great state of Wisconsin, was created in 1836 as part of the Wisconsin Territory. The county was named after Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson County officially became a part of the state of Wisconsin when the state was admitted to the Union on May 29, 1848.

The area was initially settled by European immigrants in the 1830s, primarily from Germany, Ireland, and Norway, who were attracted by its fertile soil and abundance of forests and water resources. This early settlement laid the foundation for the region's robust agricultural and manufacturing industries.

In the mid-19th century, the development of the region was significantly boosted by the construction of the vital Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad, which connected Milwaukee and towns along the Mississippi River. This further led to population growth, economic development, and industrialization in the region.

Jefferson County is home to a number of notable cities and towns such as Watertown, Fort Atkinson, and its namesake town, Jefferson, which serves as the county seat.

A fun fact about Jefferson County is that it is home to the Hoard Historical Museum, located in Fort Atkinson. This museum features exhibits about the region's history and is also home to the National Dairy Shrine, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the dairy industry. The shrine includes a collection of historical dairy photographs, artifacts, and even a Hall of Fame honoring influential individuals in the dairy industry.
