Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. St. Croix County is a county in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. As of 2000, the population was 63,155. Its county seat is Hudson. St. Croix County is part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). It is the fastest expanding county in the state of Wisconsin. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 736 square miles (1,906 km²), of which, 722 square miles (1,870 km²) of it is land and 14 square miles (36 km²) of it (1.90%) is water. St. Croix County was established in 1840 by the legislature of the Wisconsin Territory. It was named after the river on its western border. Sources vary on the origin of the name; the St. Croix River may have been named after Monsieur St. Croix, an explorer who drowned at the mouth of the river late in the seventeenth century. Another account credits Father Hennepin with giving this region the French name Ste Croix (Holy Cross) because of the burial markers located at the mouth of the river.
