Sheboygan County sits along Lake Michigan and is known for its vibrant shoreline, golf resorts, and strong manufacturing economy. The county seat, Sheboygan, is a lively city with beaches, boardwalks, local restaurants, and cultural attractions. Plymouth, Kohler, Sheboygan Falls, Oostburg, and Cedar Grove are other important communities offering a range of suburban and small-town living options. Historically, the county developed through manufacturing, cheese production, and lake-based commerce. The city of Kohler, especially, has strong ties to the Kohler Company and luxury resort culture. Housing options include lakefront homes, historic houses, mid-century ranches, upscale suburban homes in Kohler, new subdivisions in Plymouth, and rural farmhouses inland.
