[1] Located in Northeastern Wisconsin, the district comprises parts of central Brown County.

The 1983 redistricting reverted the 88th district back to its prior location, but added parts of Shawano County.

The 88th district shifted into the neighboring village of Bellevue, the towns of Ledgeview and Glenmore, and part of the city of De Pere.

The 2022 court-ordered redistricting mostly preserved this configuration, giving the district a mostly rural character.

Act 94) moved the 88th district closer into the Green Bay metro area, adding all of the city of De Pere, all the territory of the villages of Allouez and Bellevue, and part of the city of Green Bay, itself.
