HISTORY
CLOSEST FREEWAY: I-94
APPROXIMATE POPULATION: 31,386
Menomonee Falls is a Village that got its start as Stone City.
How did it come by this early name? When Joseph Hatfield started
building the largest quarry in the state, his workers needed
somewhere to live so they built their houses out of stone at
the southeast end of the quarry. Naturally this became known
as Stone City. That is until the local folks who lived here decided
that Menomonee Falls sounded better, Menomonee being the Potawatomi
word for wild rice.
