Towns & Villages in Kenosha County<\/h2>\n

Kenosha County’s map is split between one large incorporated city, seven independent villages, and four civil towns that still govern the county’s rural west end. Many of the names below are unincorporated lake-cottage communities inside those towns rather than separate governments; the table marks each as Unincorp. Population figures are given only where the Census Bureau tabulates the place separately.<\/p>\n

A handful of the old list’s entries — Carefree Estates, Carol Beach, Lake Shangrila, Liberty Corners, Prairie Lake Estates, Salem Oaks, Shorecrest Pointe and Timber Ridge — are named subdivisions or platted lake developments rather than separately recognised places, so they are left out of the table above; they are covered by the entries for the lake communities and towns they sit inside. Genoa City straddles the Kenosha–Walworth county line; only the Kenosha County portion is counted here.<\/p>\n

The Town of Salem was dissolved when its residents voted to incorporate as the Village of Salem Lakes in 2016, and the Town of Somers was likewise absorbed into the Village of Somers in 2015 — both are villages today rather than towns, which is why they appear only in the table above.<\/p>\n
