Welcome to the Town of Sevastopol web site!

The Town of Sevastopol is located in central Door County, Wisconsin, with the City of Sturgeon Bay and Town of Sturgeon Bay on its southern boundary (County T) and the Towns of Jacksonport and Egg Harbor to the north (Town Line Road). Our eastern boundary is beautiful Lake Michigan and on the west the peaceful Bay of Green Bay. We have a mixture of family farm operations, rural residential, undeveloped natural areas, and State and County parks. Our 90+ square miles is home to approximately 2,860 year-around residents--plus a substantial number of seasonals.

If you are wondering about the origin of  "Sevastopol," it is the namesake of a fiesty Southern Russian port on the Black Sea, originally "Sebastopol" who in 1855 withstood and was victorious in a tussel with the British and French.  Through a slip of the pen, "v" was substituted for the "b."
