About Madison

Welcome to Madison, WI!  Located on an isthmus between two lakes, Madison is the capital city of the state of Wisconsin. Madison has been voted Best Place to Live in the US two years in a row (2021 & 2022)! Madison more than just a college town and capital city, its technology economy is growing rapidly, and the region is home to the headquarters of Epic Systems, Exact Sciences, American Girl (Mattel), Sub-Zero, and Lands’ End, as well as many biotech, healthcare IT, and health systems startups.

Madison is the second largest city in the state, with a city population of approximately 260,000 and regional population of over 1 million. The city is within easy driving range of Chicago, Milwaukee, and the Twin Cities. Madison is home to one of the strongest local food scenes in the country, and from April to October, the Capitol Square hosts the largest producer-only farmers market in the country.

The city has a dedicated athletics fan base which largely centers around the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Madison is home to Forward Madison FC, the first professional soccer team in the city, as well as the Madison Mallards, a college wood- bat summer baseball league team. Marquee endurance sports and specialty sporting events include Ironman, Reebok CrossFit Games, Madison Marathon, and many national and international championship competitions.
