:''This article is about Edgerton, Wisconsin. For other municipalities with the same name, see Edgerton (disambiguation)''
Edgerton is a city in Rock County and partly in Dane County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 5,461 at the 2010 census. Of this, 5,364 were in Rock County, and 97 were in Dane County. Known locally as "Tobacco City U.S.A.," because of the importance of tobacco growing in the region,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Term: Edgerton, Wisconsin )〕 Edgerton continues to be a center for the declining tobacco industry in the area.
==History==
Originally called Fulton Station, Edgerton was named after a 19th-century businessman, Elisha W. Edgerton,〔(Edgerton (Origin of Placename) )〕 or his brother Benjamin Hyde Edgerton, a civil engineer.〔'Wisconsin Magazine of History,' vol. 4, Wisconsin Historical Society; 1921, Biographical Sketch of Benjamin Hyde Edgerton, pg. 354-357〕
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Edgerton was the center of the tobacco industry in southern Wisconsin. At one time, there were as many as 52 tobacco warehouses dotting the streets of Edgerton.〔Barry Adams, "http://host.madison.com/news/local/on-wisconsin-historic-tobacco-buildings-could-help-revitalize-downtown-edgerton/article_8e4dc4a8-3251-11e1-8fd2-001871e3ce6c.html(On Wisconsin: Historic tobacco buildings could help revitalize downtown Edgerton )", ''Wisconsin State Journal'', January 3, 2012. Accessed February 16, 2014.〕 Queen Anne style mansions along Edgerton's Washington Street testify to the wealth and prominence some merchants once had. The 1890s Carlton Hotel, once located on Henry Street, also once served as an additional reminder of the tobacco industry's influence. Although built by a brewing firm, the hotel (which burned to the ground in the 1990s) was frequented by tobacco buyers and sellers.
