Welcome to Darlington, Wisconsin!

Darlington, WI is the charming county seat of Lafayette County and one of Wisconsin's most picturesque communities. Darlington is located in the gently rolling countryside of Southwest Wisconsin. Darlington is known as the "Pearl of the Pecatonica" for the time when people harvested clams out of the river to produce pearl button blanks. We owe it to you to tell you about this special place. Whether you are interested in history, recreation, shopping, or more, it's all right here.

We invite you to explore the many links posted here and then explore Darlington, 'A Place to Remember!'
