About Sauk City
Set along the lower Wisconsin River, Sauk City combines historic charm with a relaxed, small-town pace. Home to about 3,500 people, it holds the title of Wisconsin's oldest incorporated village. It sits right across the water from neighboring Prairie du Sac, and the two towns function together as a single friendly community known locally as Sauk Prairie.
Life here centers around the riverfront, with walking paths, parks, and scenic views connecting both sides of the bridge. The village is also famous as the birthplace of Culver's, which started right on Phillips Boulevard in 1984. With shared schools, local shops, and an easy drive down U.S. 12 into Madison, it is a practical and welcoming place for newcomers looking to settle down.
