The History of Waukesha

The area that the city now encompasses was first inhabited in 1834. By 1846, the area was incorporated as the Village of Prairieville. On February 8, 1847, it changed its name to Waukesha. And in 1896, Waukesha incorporated as a city.

Waukesha was known for its extremely clean and good-tasting spring water and was called a spa town. This earned the city the nicknames "Spring City" and "Saratoga of the West". However, emissions have since ruined these springs, and a number have gone dry. But during this particular era in the late 1800s and early 1900s, many celebrities of their day came to reside there for a while, such as Mary Todd Lincoln after her husband's death.

The name Waukesha means "fox" or "foxes," either from the Ojibwe word Waagoshag or the Potawatomi word Wauk-tsha.
