Why is Wisconsin Called the Badger State and What Does the Name Have to Do With Mining? July 18, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Animals The state of Wisconsin definitely has badgers, but itâs not why itâs called the badger state. Wisconsin doesnât have many more badgers than any other state, but you have to admit that Wisconsin has one up on Michigan. However, the state wasnât really called that because of its badgers, surprise, surprise, except indirectly. âBadgersâ became the nickname of lead miners who settled the state in the 1820s. Lead mining wasnât exactly a healthy or lucrative job that left a lot of time and energy for building houses.
