Population centers of the BOW counties: from top, Green Bay, Appleton, and Oshkosh bordering Lake Winnebago

The BOW counties ( /baʊ/) [1] are three counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin: Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago. [2] The counties stretch from the western shore of Lake Winnebago down the Fox River to Green Bay. Cities in the BOW counties include Green Bay, De Pere, Appleton (part), Kaukauna (part), New London (part), Seymour, Neenah, Menasha (part), Omro, and Oshkosh. Also included is the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. The region overlaps with the Fox Cities but includes the more populous Brown County, [3] and not Calumet County. [4] The region also excludes the similarly sized Fond du Lac County as it is more solidly Republican and last voted for a Democrat for president in 1964. [5] The term has been in use since at least 2018, [6] but only started being used by mainstream sources in 2020. [7] [3]

The area is one of the most purple (evenly divided) in the state, [8] and a key swing region. [9] These counties tend to be left-leaning compared to the more right-leaning WOW counties located near Milwaukee. [10] In the 2016 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Donald Trump received the most votes for president in the BOW counties but with smaller margins than the WOW counties. [10] Trump had 52% of the vote in Brown County, 54% in Outagamie County and just over 50% in Winnebago County. [10] However, in 2020 it was one of 21 regions in the country identified that had an impact on Joe Biden's victory. [11] In addition to presidential elections, the region is watched in other elections, such as races for United States Senate [12] and Wisconsin Supreme Court. [2]
