| Muscoda 712 |
Muscoda (MUS-ko-day), Wisconsin, is a village mostly in Grant County and a little in Iowa County at the intersection of state highways 80 and 133 along the south bank of the Wisconsin River about 40 miles northeast of
Prairie du Chien, which is on the Mississippi River. It has about 1250 residents.
It was first called English Meadow or English Prairie in honor of two English traders. Muscoda may be a corruption of the Indian Mash-ko-deng or Mashkode, meaning "prairie". It may also have come from Longfellow's Hiawatha, where "muskoday" is mentioned.
