T
he Village of
Menomonee Falls
was founded in the
mid 19th century
as a mill town, and
then grew as a small center for
commerce to serve surrounding
farmlands. Following World War
II, significant residential growth
occurred that corresponded
closely with the building of
the Interstate Highway System.
The Village annexed the Town
of Menomonee in 1958 and
experienced significant indus-
trial and commercial growth in
the later decades of the 20th
Century. Today, Interstate 41/
US 45 runs through this scenic
community, connecting it to the
urban offerings of Milwaukee,
and the recreational pleasures
of Lake Country.
Population of the Village has
grown four percent since 2010,
to its current figure approaching
37,000. The Wisconsin Depart-
ment of Administration predicts
it will surpass 42,000 by 2035.
