Waukesha County History

Waukesha County is located in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The area that is now Waukesha County was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Potawatomi, Menominee, and Ojibwe. European settlers began arriving in the area in the early 19th century, and by the 1830s, several communities had been established.

The city of Waukesha, which serves as the county seat, was founded in 1846 and quickly grew into a center of industry and commerce. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the city became a popular destination for people seeking the therapeutic benefits of its natural springs, and it became known as the "Saratoga of the West."
