About Horicon

Horicon sits at the southern tip of the massive Horicon Marsh in Dodge County, Wisconsin. Home to around 3,800 people, the small city blends a quiet neighborhood feel with deep manufacturing roots. The Rock River flows right through town, while John Deere Horicon Works stands as the community's primary anchor, building lawn equipment and utility vehicles for over a century. A compact downtown and friendly residential streets give the area a classic Midwestern rhythm.

Day-to-day life revolves around local schools, neighborhood parks, and outdoor recreation right in your backyard. Residents spend weekends hiking marsh trails, paddling the river, or enjoying community events downtown. For big-box shopping, expanded dining, or specialized healthcare, neighbors make the quick drive along Highway 33 to Beaver Dam or head north toward Fond du Lac. It is an easygoing community to put down roots, offering scenic wetlands alongside steady local industry.
