In which Wisconsin city was artist Georgia O'Keeffe born?

Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

She was born on November 15, 1887, on a dairy farm near Sun Prairie, a small community east of Madison. Her parents, Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida Totto, raised seven children, and Georgia was the second of those children.

O'Keeffe later became strongly associated with New Mexico, where she lived and worked for much of her life, but her birthplace was in the American Midwest. This distinction matters because biographical summaries sometimes emphasize her New Mexico homes so heavily that readers may mistakenly identify New Mexico as her birthplace.

Sun Prairie remains an important part of O'Keeffe's early biography. Her childhood in rural Wisconsin preceded her formal art education in Chicago and New York and her later career as one of the most important American modernist painters.
