Hobart is a village in Brown County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 10,211 at the 2020 census. [5] Hobart is a part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area. The village is located entirely within the former treaty boundaries of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin.
On May 13, 2002, the Town of Hobart incorporated as a village. [6] Hobart is named for Episcopal Bishop John Henry Hobart of New York who sent missionaries to the Oneida people and ministered to them after removal from New York to Wisconsin. [7]
Hobart's local political scene has been characterized by numerous clashes with the Oneida Nation regarding their sovereignty over the reservation land on which Hobart sits. [8] In 2008, a federal judge upheld restrictive property covenants added to deeds by the Village of Hobart to prevent transfer of certain reservation properties into Oneida federal trust land. [9] In 2010, the village denied a liquor license to an Oneida business on the grounds that the tribe had not paid over $100,000 in stormwater fees for parcels held in tribal trust land; the tribe held that the village had no jurisdiction to charge such fees on tribal trust land. The federal court ruled in favor of the Oneida, and the village's appeal was not taken up by the US Supreme Court. [8]
In 2016, the village of Hobart fined the tribe for holding their annual Big Apple Fest on Oneida-owned non-trust land, without first obtaining a village permit. The Oneida Nation sued Hobart in US District Court, and appealed the initial ruling in favor of the village. [10] In 2020, the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ruling in the wake of the landmark McGirt v. Oklahoma decision, holding that the tribe had the right to hold its annual event whether or not it received a permit from the village. [11] Public records indicate that in the nine-year period from 2011–2020, Hobart spent nearly $1,000,000 in litigation costs for these court cases. [8]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 33.06 square miles (85.63 km2), of which, 32.95 square miles (85.34 km2) of it is land and 0.11 square miles (0.28 km2) is water. [12]
