In the U.S. state of Wisconsin, U.S. Route 10 (normally called U.S. Highway 10, Highway 10 or US 10) runs east-west across the central part of the state. It runs from the Prescott Drawbridge over the St. Croix River at Prescott, where it enters Minnesota, east to the dock in Manitowoc where the Lake Michigan Carferry (SS Badger) crosses Lake Michigan to Ludington, Michigan.

Prior to 1926, what is now US 10 was State Trunk Highway 18. However, Highway 18 initially (in 1917) only ran from Humbird, near where US 10 and U.S. Highway 12 (then State Trunk Highway 12) cross, east to Manitowoc. State Trunk Highway 34 ran from Prescott to Highway 37 in Mondovi. The route between Mondovi and Humbird was not numbered until the early 1920s, when Highway 18 was extended west from Humbird past Mondovi to Prescott, eliminating Highway 34.[1]

When US 10 was designated in late 1926, it ran along U.S. Highway 12 from Minnesota east to Humbird, splitting there to run to Manitowoc.[2] The piece of former Highway 18 west of Humbird became Highway 34, as the number 18 conflicted with U.S. Highway 18. In 1934, Highway 34 disappeared again, as US 10 was separated from the US 12 concurrency to run along it.[3]
