Richland County, known for its diverse geography, features a mix of marsh and ridge land that supports a thriving agricultural sector. With a population of over 15,000, including a significant German community, the county has seen substantial growth since 1848, particularly in wheat and corn production. Richland County is rich in natural resources, including timber and water, which bolster local industries, while infrastructure improvements by the Green Bay and Mississippi Canal Company have further enhanced its development potential.
