Wisconsin’s state symbol, the badger, doesn’t refer to
the animal, but instead to the 1820s lead miners who traveled for work and
dug tunnels to sleep in and keep warm, much like a badger.
The state has no “official” nickname. It is commonly
referred to as both the “Badger State” and “America’s Dairyland”.
The badger name (animal) was adopted by the University
of Wisconsin in 1899.
