Wisconsin is an English version of a French adaptation of an Indian word. The Ojibwa word Meskousing meaning "gathering of the waters," was written as Ouisconsin by the French, and changed to its current form by the English. Wisconsin originally was applied to the Wisconsin River, and later to the area as a whole when Wisconsin became a territory.
Economy
In addition to cheese, Wisconsin is known for its beer, bratwursts, cranberries and many festivals, such as Summerfest and the EAA Oshkosh Airshow. Wisconsin is also the largest producer by volume of ginseng, cranberries, and paper products in the United States. The once coveted title of top milk producer no longer belongs to Wisconsin; the position of top milk producer is now held by California.
