Walworth County

Walworth County is transitioning from an agricultural and tourism-based economy into a diverse mix of tourism, retail, manufacturing and agri-based companies. It is home to the Whitewater Campus of the University of Wisconsin, which is nationally recognized as a leader in information technology; Gateway Technical College; and George Williams College. Given its natural beauty, rolling hills and more than two dozen sparkling lakes, Walworth County offers a wealth of recreational choices, including hiking, biking and golfing.

The sandy beaches, resorts and boutique shops have made Lake Geneva and surrounding communities a tourist mecca since the 1880s and they remain a popular summer destination for Chicago residents. Walworth County also is home to the region's largest golfing resorts and spas, including Grand Geneva, Interlaken, The Abbey and Lake Lawn.

Walworth County offers quality living in a safe, semi-rural environment that is just a short drive from the amenities of Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago.
