Zug is the capital of the Canton of Zug in Central Switzerland, located 23 km south of Zürich on Lake Zug (Zugersee). The city encompasses areas along the lake shore, the Lorzenebene plain, and the Zugerberg mountain, and is historically marked by fishing – the name derives from the Old High German word for fishnets. Founded in the 13th century, Zug became part of the Swiss Confederation in 1352. Throughout its history, the city experienced periods of Habsburg rule, conflicts between the city and the bailiwick, and significant events such as the city’s renovation in the 15th century and the Zug Attentat in 2001. Today, Zug is a growing city with over 30,000 inhabitants and a high percentage of foreign residents, known for its modern development and historical significance. Wikipedia
