Wisconsin Printers — Serious ’Bout Their Printing

Welcome to Wisconsin, whose name translates to “grassy place” in the Chippewa language. And speaking of Native Americans, this state has a few cities and towns named after tribes: Milwaukee, Menomonie, Pewaukee, Waunakee and Waukesha, to name a few.

Among its nicknames is the Badger State; in the 19th century, Wisconsin lead miners lived in carved-out hillside caves. These temporary homes were called badger dens, its inhabitants ridiculed as badgers. Residents took ownership of the nickname and turned it into a positive.
