About Kenosha, Wisconsin
Kenosha

Kenosha ( ) is a city in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States, and its county seat. It is the fourth-most populous city in Wisconsin, with a population of 99,986 at the 2020 census. Situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, Kenosha is a satellite city located roughly 40 miles (64 km) south of Milwaukee and 66 miles (106 km) north of Chicago via Interstate 94 and has significant cultural and economic connections to both cities. It is the principal city of the Kenosha metropolitan statistical area (consisting only of Kenosha County) with roughly 169,000 residents.

Kenosha was once a center of industrial activity; it was home to large automotive factories which fueled its economy during the 20th century. Like some other Rust Belt cities, Kenosha lost these factories in the 1980s, causing it to gradually transition into a services-based economy. In the 2010s, the city and surrounding county have benefited from an expanding economy and increased job growth. It is home to the headquarters of the Fortune 1000 tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc., as well as the clothing company Jockey International. Kenosha is home to multiple educational institutions, including the University of Wisconsin–Parkside, Herzing University, Carthage College, and Gateway Technical College. Residents of the city are called Kenoshans.
