Which Wisconsin city was Georgia O'Keeffe's birthplace?

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

Sun Prairie is a city northeast of Madison, and O'Keeffe grew up in the surrounding rural area in a large farming family. The landscape of southern Wisconsin formed the earliest geographic setting of her life, before her artistic identity became linked with New York and New Mexico.

O'Keeffe's family background was practical and agricultural, but art was encouraged during her childhood. She received lessons while still young and later pursued formal art education in Chicago and New York. These studies introduced her to academic drawing, design, and modern artistic ideas.

Sun Prairie is not the same place as Madison, where O'Keeffe later attended the University of Wisconsin. Nor was it her principal adult base: she lived and worked in several states before settling for long periods in New York and New Mexico. The Wisconsin birthplace remains an important part of her biography and local heritage.
