Its county seat is Racine.[2] The county was founded in 1836, then a part of the Wisconsin Territory. The Root River is the county's namesake.

Racine County comprises the Racine metropolitan statistical area.

## History

[edit]

The Potawatomi people occupied the area of Racine County until European settlement. The Wisconsin Territory legislature established Racine County in 1836, separating it from Milwaukee County. Racine County originally extended to Wisconsin's southern border and encompassed the land that is now Kenosha County, Wisconsin. Kenosha County was created as a separate entity in 1850.[6]

The County Board has 21 members, each elected from single-member districts in nonpartisan elections.[17] In 1974, county voters voted in favor of a referendum to replace the appointed county administrator with an elected county executive,[18] with the first election taking place in 1975. The County Executive is elected in nonpartisan elections taking place in the spring. The current County Executive is Ralph Malicki,[19] who was elected in a 2024 special election following the death of County Executive Jonathan Delagrave.[20]
