Milwaukee
Milwaukee County is part of the Michigan Territory that was formed around 1835. Years prior to that, the area was settled by a variety of Native American tribes and explored by French Priests and merchants as far back as 1674. The name “Milwaukee” is generally believed to be derived from a Native American term meaning “good land.”
Today Milwaukee County has the largest population in the State of Wisconsin and is the 47th largest city in the United States with 951,448 home residents. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan and covering 241 square miles, Milwaukee County is a mixture of metropolitan, suburban, and rural living. It is one of the few fully incorporated counties in the United States that has 19 municipalities ranging from a large urban center in the City of Milwaukee with 595,047 residents to small villages with a small population of 1,597. Milwaukee County continues to strive to be a Midwestern hub for all business, travel, different types of industries, recreation, and wide variety of cultures. It thrives on its strong sense of community making it a great place to live, work, and raise family.
Wuakesha
Waukesha is located 18 miles west of Milwaukee on the Fox River in Waukesha County. Waukesha, or Prairieville as it was known until becoming the seat of Waukesha County, was settled by Morris D. Cutler in 1834. At the time, the Potawatomi, Menomonee, and Ho-Chunk Indians grew corn, pumpkins, berries, nuts and hunted wild game in the area until they were removed in 1835.
White settlers soon set up grain, lumber and flour mills to stimulate growth. In the late 19th century, Waukesha became famous for its healing waters. People came from far and wide to heal and relax in the resort town. After the era of healing waters ended, Waukesha became a major manufacturer of water, beer, soda, dairy products, iron, and steel. The products would be shipped to Milwaukee and other port cities on Lake Michigan on Waukesha’s excellent road system.
