A quick five minutes from Madison's east side and only 15 from the Dane County Airport, Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, enjoys the benefits of small town Wisconsin as well as the exciting recreational, employment and cultural advantages of nearby Madison.

Cottage Grove Township was established when the Northwest Territory survey was completed in 1834. The first two parcels of land in the township were purchased on behalf of an absentee millionaire soldier who never used it as a residence. By 1842, 10 households - amounting to 42 people - had settled in Cottage Grove Township.

The townspeople adopted the name, "Cottage Grove," when the community established its own government in 1849, the year following Wisconsin statehood. The name memorializes the fact that the first house in the township was built within a grove of oak trees. Agriculture was the primary occupation in the township for the next century, until the mid 1900's. Today less than 1% of the residents in Cottage Grove Township list farming as their sole occupation.

Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, is an easy commute to many government, academic and commercial employment opportunities in Dane County. In 2000, nearly 40% of Cottage Grove's residents held managerial or professional positions with almost one third in sales or administration. With a growing base of home business and farmsteads Cottage Grove Township has become a diverse community that continues to grow.
