Grab some crackers -- Kaukauna, WI, is home to the world famous Kaukauna Spreadable Cheese Company, which isn't all that surprising for a town in Wisconsin (it is frequently referred to as "America's dairyland," after all). No matter where you are in the United States, you're bound to find an almond-crusted cheese ball or log with the company's red-barn logo.

Although settled in 1759, Kaukauna was not incorporated as a town until 1885. At first, Kaukauna was nicknamed "The Lion on the Fox"; the town is now known as "The Electric City" because of its hydroelectric plant. Today, Kaukauna has a population of just over 15,000 and the city has its own police, fire and rescue departments available for residents. With activities for all ages, it is no surprise that Kaukauna has been named Wisconsin's most friendly city.
