HISTORY
CLOSEST FREEWAYS: I-94, I-43, & I-894
APPROXIMATE POPULATION: 610,700
When French missionaries first arrived here in the late 1600s,
they were met by the Sauk, Ojibwa, Fox, Mascouten, Menominee,
and Potawatomi tribes. In 1818 French-Canadian fur traders wandered
through the area and decided to stay. Starting in the 1840s Milwaukee
added German, Polish, Irish, Scandinavian, and Italian immigrants
to its growing population. This wonderful ethnic diversity is
still visible in Milwaukee's culture today.
