French Island, Wisconsin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
French Island is an island in the Mississippi River and a census-designated place in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, United States. The larger island is not coextensive with the smaller CDP; most of the balance is part of the city of La Crosse. They are both part of the La Crosse Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population of the CDP was 4,410 at the 2000 census. French Island CDP, however, is also part of the La Crosse county Town of Campbell and contains all of its population, because the balance of Campbell is uninhabited. French Island (the island, including part of La Crosse) had a population of 4,611 in 2000.
