Badger State; American's Dairyland
Wisconsin
The Badger StateThis nickname originally referred to the lead miners, of the 1830s, who worked at the Galena lead mines in Illinois. These mines were in northwestern Illinois close to the borders of Wisconsin and Iowa. The Wisconsin miners lived, not in houses, but in temporary caves cut into the hillsides. These caves were described as badger dens and, the miners who lived in them, as badgers. This derisive nickname was brought back to Wisconsin by these miners. Eventually, the nickname was applied to all of the people of Wisconsin and, finally, to the state itself.
There are SO many badgers living in Wisconsin, so the government decided Wisconsin's nickname: The Badger State.

Wisconsin has the nicknames of America's Dairyland and the Badger State.
I would venture to say that there are Badgers in Wisconsin. A small animal also referred to as a Wolverine.
