Named for the shape of the Milwaukee River wrapping around the land, Mequon translates to ‘ladle.’ Once the home of the Potawatomi and Menominee tribes, Mequon was developed into a settlement in 1836. Early residents established flour and grain mills and by 1881, Mequon was a full-fledged village. Today, this bucolic area is known for elegant country clubs and esteemed golf courses, nature preserves, culinary excellence, and the majestic Milwaukee River.
