About Cobb

Tucked into the rolling prairie of Iowa County, Cobb is a quiet southwest Wisconsin village with fewer than 500 residents. Life here moves at an easy rural pace along Highway 18, surrounded by wide-open farmland and classic Driftless country scenery. The community got its start in the mid-1800s as a stagecoach stop, cycling through a few different names like Danville and Eden before finally settling on Cobb.
