Jobs at John Deere and 30,000 acres of marshland in Horicon
The small Wisconsin city of Horicon gets its name from the stretch of wetlands just north of town. The 30,000-acre Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area is fed by the Rock River, which flows through the marsh into the city. Downtown restaurants and businesses line Lake Street, and the city’s manufacturing facilities are also along the main thoroughfare. “John Deere has a very large facility, and it's one of the bigger employers here. A lot of people moving here are from Iowa because they keep transferring from the Iowa plants,” says Angela Noltimier, a sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Newcomers can meet their neighbors at local high school sporting events or the annual events hosted by local organizations.
Life in Horicon is centered on community, affordability, and an easygoing Midwest atmosphere.
Horicon has a long-standing connection to John Deere through the Horicon Works facility.

Birdwatching at Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area and swimming at the pool
Prehistoric glacier movements formed the Horicon Marsh Wildlife Area, which has since transformed into a hotspot for bird-watching. Thousands of waterfowl gather here in the spring and fall as part of their migration routes, giving bird-watchers a chance to see bald eagles, blue herons and other birds on 5 miles of trails. Fishing and kayaking are also available on the Rock River. River Bend Park, the city's largest park, offers a boat launch right downtown, plus a playground, a baseball diamond, disc golf and tennis courts. A dog park opened in spring 2024, making it the park’s most recent addition. Discher Park has an aquatic center with water slides, and Horicon Hills Golf Club has an 18-hole course open to the public.
Horicon’s Horicon Marsh Education Center highlights wildlife education and conservation.
