Why is Wisconsin the dairy state?

Answer 1

Because of the European and Scandinavian background of the people who settled the state. Many of them came from farming/dairy regions of those countries. Therefore when they settled in their new homeland they brought their customs and introduced them into their lives here.

Answer 2

While not the official nickname, Wisconsin is often called the Dairy State in reference to their large dairy industry. "America's Dairyland" is written on their state license plates. Wisconsin's official nickname is The Badger State. It is called this because of the 19th century lead miners who lived in caves cut into the hillsides that looked like badger dens; the badger has been Wisconsin's state animal since 1957.
