Kekoskee is a small village in Dodge County, Wisconsin, in the United States. In 2020, about 896 people lived there. This number grew a lot from 2010, when only 161 people lived in Kekoskee.
The reason for this big change is that Kekoskee and the nearby town of Williamstown joined together in 2018. Williamstown had trouble finding enough people to be on its local government board. After they joined, only a small part of Williamstown (about 163 acres) remained separate.
