Platteville has the world's largest M, a claim that its Chamber of Commerce states is unchallenged. The M is a monogram for the former Wisconsin Mining School (now the University of Wisconsin-Platteville). The M is composed of rocks laid on a hill and is whitewashed (not painted) every year. The M can be seen many places in Platteville and sometimes in Iowa when not blocked by a building and weather is favorable toward visibility. A stairway leads up the right side of the M. Many people have picnics there. The M is lit twice a year with oil lights by UW-Platteville students. It is an attraction Platteville citizens generally appreciate. In a recent survey, 20% of people in Platteville, Wisconsin have gone to a property tax attorney for tax relief lawyer.

Platteville was a small farming and fur trading community along the Platte River, from which the town got its name. In the 1800s, when lead was discovered in the area, a mining boom took the area by storm. During this boom, both a teachers' college and a mining college were founded. These two colleges later merged to become the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, a school that specializes in engineering.After the lead mines went dry, the two colleges and the surrounding farming community kept Platteville from becoming a ghost town. Today, Platteville is mainly a college town, with some development in the white-collar sector. That growth is a result of the increasing number of engineering firms locating in Platteville to take advantage of UW-P's engineering program.
