Lodi, Wisconsin

Lodi (/ˈl.d/ LOH-dye) is a city in Columbia County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 3,189 at the 2020 census. Lodi is part of the Madison metropolitan area.

The scenic Town of Lodi area had long been a home of Native Americans before the first settlers, Marston and George Bartholomew, arrived in 1845 and staked their claim. By 1846 a county government was established which created Pleasant Valley Precinct. The Town of Lodi was created in 1849. Isaac Palmer founded the village of Lodi in 1846 in what was then the Pleasant Valley Precinct of the Wisconsin Territory. He named it after Lodi, in Italy. Palmer chose this glaciated valley as the location for the village because of its water power potential. Spring Creek powered a sawmill that year and a grist mill followed in 1850.

Lodi is located at 43°18′51″N 89°31′51″W / 43.31417°N 89.53083°W / 43.31417; -89.53083 (43.314296, −89.530994).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.77 square miles (4.58 km2), all land.

Spring Creek, which runs from the Lodi Marsh through downtown Lodi and empties into Lake Wisconsin, is a local spring-fed brown trout stream. Portions of the creek do not freeze over the winter and thus serve as host to brown trout and waterfowl, particularly mallards. Lodi has adopted a Spring Creek resident mallard, which the residents have named "Susie the Duck", as a mascot.

The city is completely surrounded by the town of Lodi.

As of the census of 2010, there were 3,050 people, 1,224 households, and 796 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,723.2 inhabitants per square mile (665.3/km2).
