| Profile: In the Potawatomi Indian language Waukesha means "fox". As the County Seat of Wisconsin's fastest growing county, the City of Waukesha boasts a unique and colorful history. In by-gone days travelers came from all over just to drink some of Waukesha's pure spring water or to seek the therapeutic values from one of their world renowned mud baths. Definitely not "just a suburb" of Milwaukee, Waukesha can enjoy all the big city attractions yet retain its small town charm. Wisconsin's oldest college - Carroll College - is located in the City of Waukesha and an Extension School of the University of Wisconsin is also located here. Pride of ownership is evident everywhere as you drive through Waukesha's residential neighborhoods and the lush rolling countryside surrounding the city. Most importantly, Waukesha residents, both new and lifelong, agree on the slogan, "We like it here". |
