http://www.wisconsin.gov/state/core/wisconsin_cities_towns_and_villages.html The above site provides a list of many (though not all) Wisconsin cities, towns and villages, but doesn't put them in counties. Many of the town websites do, however, include a short history. The method I use for determining which county a town is in takes 2 steps: I find the town using the index to my Rand-McNally Road Atlas. The Atlas also indexes the counties. However, county lines can be difficult to read on Rand-McNally, so I then turn to my trusty old (at least 35 years!) Hammond Atlas. The county lines are clearly drawn on the Hammond maps. Not every town is shown, which is why you also need the Rand-McNally. If you decide to invest in these references, be sure you get the Hammond CITATION Atlas. It's this version that has the county lines (as well as province lines for foreign countries) clearly delineated. The Hammond Citation Atlas also clearly marks the county seats.
