Historical marker location:
1800 Jefferson St, Two Rivers, Wisconsin
( Marker is at the intersection of Jefferson Street and 18th Street, on the right when traveling south on Jefferson Street.)
The state's name is derived from the Wisconsin River, which was named by the French traders and explorers who arrived in the area in the 17th century. The river's name is believed to come from the Ojibwe word "meskonsing," which means "it lies red" or "red stone place."
