Wisconsin Quick Facts
Wisconsin - America's Dairyland
Wisconsin was first settled by the French who set up a community in Green Bay. After more than 100 years, the British took over the territory. It became U.S. land after the Revolutionary War.
The state was originally part of the Northwest Territory. After being part of the Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin Territories, it finally became its own territory in 1836. In 10 years, the population exploded from 11,600 non-Native American Indian residents to more than 155,000. Wisconsin joined the union in 1848. Just two years later, the population had grown to more than 300,000.
Farming was the backbone of Wisconsin's early economy. Dairy farming was particularly important, leading to the nickname "America's Dairyland" Today, the state produces more dairy products than all but one other state. And it is the top cheese producer, giving Wisconsinites the nickname "cheese heads" They wear the name proudly with hats shaped like a wedge of cheese, particularly at Green Bay Packer football games.
Although agriculture is still a major part of the economy, manufacturing is now a bigger sector. Manufacturing includes food processing, transportation equipment, machinery, health care devices and software. Tourism also is a big contributor.

1. The relative benefits of a consolidation loan may vary over time and will depend on individual circumstances. The longer the property and loan at a new lower rate and term is kept, the more interest savings can be realized when compared to your current situation. The repayment period of a mortgage loan can generally be shortened when additional funds above scheduled monthly mortgage payments are consistently paid and applied to reduce the loan balance.
2. Affects pricing. With the refinace loan, borrowers may finance the closing costs instead of paying for them at closing. Borrowers who pay closing costs at closing may qualify for a lower interest rate. Some upfront fees (ex. credit report and appraisal) may apply and may be credited at closing. Call for details.
3. Refinancing or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit may increase the total number of monthly payments and/or the total amount paid when compared to your current situation.
