Sheboygan County, located on the western shores of Lake Michigan, was first established on December 17, 1838, two years after the area was detached from Brown County by an act of territorial legislation. Today's boundaries of the county are still those established in 1838. The first township, the Town of Sheboygan, encompassed the entire county. Currently, Sheboygan County has fifteen townships, plus thirteen municipalities.
