Fort Atkinson is a city in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, United States. It is located on the Rock River, a few miles upstream from Lake Koshkonong. In 1996, Money Magazine named Fort Atkinson One of America's Hottest Little Boomtowns. The population was 11,621 at the 2000 census. Fort Atkinson was named after General Henry Atkinson, the commander of U.S. forces during the Black Hawk War. The city is located at the site of Fort Koshkonong, which was used during that war. A replica of the original 1832 stockade has been built just outside of town, although not at the original site, nor in the original form which was at the confluence of the Rock and Bark Rivers.
