| Profile: Oak Creek has been predominantly rural in the past and is blessed with some of the finest farmland in Southeastern Wisconsin. As recently as 1950, over 80% of the area was in farms. The location of one of the larger generating plants of Wisconsin Electric Power created a favorable tax base with attracted urbanization. About two decades ago, AC Spark Plug established a giant plant in Oak Creek, which later became AC Electronics, the General Motors facility which was so vital to space age guidance systems.. Oak Creek continues to combine industrial and residential growth. |
