Every Wisconsin County, City, Village and Town: The Federal District Atlas

How the 2026 municipality atlas was assembled

This directory reconciles the Wisconsin Department of Administration’s January 1, 2026 final municipality table (1,850 unique municipality records) with its final county-subdivision table (1,913 county-specific entries). Source DOA identifiers preserve the distinction between a city, village and town even when their names match.

For municipalities spanning multiple counties, each government is counted only once in the statewide total but appears under every actual county in the source. The court districts are assigned by the statutory 72-county lists in 28 U.S.C. § 130. The data describe a January 1, 2026 snapshot, not a legal guarantee about later annexations, incorporations or unincorporated localities.

Why the county and federal district matter

Wisconsin’s Eastern and Western Districts are separate federal courts. Milwaukee, Green Bay and Oshkosh are statutory places where Eastern District court may be held; Madison, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Superior and Wausau are Western District statutory court-holding places. These designations do not mean every listed city contains a continuously staffed courthouse.

A person’s residence, a detainee’s location and the proper place for a federal court filing may differ. An immigration court hearing, a USCIS application, a habeas custody petition and review of a removal order are not interchangeable proceedings. Verify the particular facts before filing.

Who handles the federal immigration matter?

Matthew G. Steel is a Louisiana attorney admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The firm’s principal office remains in Gretna, Louisiana. Certain federal immigration matters can be handled for clients outside the attorney’s licensing state under applicable agency rules.

Nothing in the directory establishes Wisconsin state-bar licensure, additional Wisconsin office locations or admission to the Eastern District. Actual court appearance authority, federal venue and the appropriate legal remedy must be checked for each proceeding.
