Discover Waukesha
The Waukesha area was first settled by European Americans in 1834, with Morris D. Cutler as its first settler. Its founders were New England farmers who moved west after the Erie Canal opened and the Black Hawk War ended, laying out farms, building roads and government buildings and establishing post routes. They brought Yankee values such as a passion for education and strong support for abolition, and most were Congregationalists, with some Episcopalians, Methodists and Baptists.
More about Waukesha
By 1846 the area was incorporated as the town of Prairie Village, soon changed to Prairieville, and on February 8, 1847, the town took the name Waukesha. On January 10, 1852, the settled area once called Prairieville was separated from the town and incorporated as a village, and it became a city in 1896, with John Brehm as its first appointed mayor. Welsh immigrants settled in Waukesha from the 1840s and arrived in large numbers in the late 1800s and early 1900s, becoming one of the city's largest ethnic groups, and many Belgian and Serbian families also came in the late 1800s. Waukesha became famous for its natural springs. Matthew Laflin, an early Chicago pioneer, provided the capital and enterprise that established it as a well-known Wisconsin watering resort.
