Kekoskee is a village in Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 896 at the 2020 census, a notable increase of 161 people at the 2010 census. This is because the village itself and the town of Williamstown both decided to consolidate within 2018, due to Williamstown struggling to seat a full village board, leaving only 163 acres left of the town.[5]
