Brief History. The Wisconsin region was first explored for France by Jean Nicolet. Great region obtained the region in settlement of the French and Indian Wars in 1763, and the U.S. acquired it in 1783 after the Revolutionary War. The region was successively governed as part of the territories of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan between 1800 and 1836, when it became a separate territory. Wisconsin is now a major dairy product manufacturer. Among the many points of interest are the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore; Ice Age National Scientific Reserve; the Circus World Museum at Baraboo; the Wolf, St. Croix, and Lower St. Croix national scenic riverways; and the Wisconsin Dells.
