Stitzer is an unincorporated community in the town of Liberty in Grant County, Wisconsin, United States.[2][3]

History

A post office called Stitzer has been in operation since 1879.[4] The community was named for Bernard Stizer, a local farmer.[5]

Wisconsin-native comedian Chris Farley appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1996, playing a character "Cheddar McFarley", who was said to be the mayor alternatively of either Stitzer or "Cheeseopolis", on a night when Super Bowl XXXI champions Andre Rison, Edgar Bennett and Dwight Sean Jones of the Green Bay Packers were being interviewed by Leno. Wearing a Reggie White No. 92 jersey, Farley presented the three players with cheesehead hats.[6]
