Bold, beautiful and spectacularly progressive! |
Long before the first settlers came to this area, the Algonkian Indians had a special name for the land: Millioki, which means “gathering place by the waters.” The Native Americans may have picked the name because they used the area for tribal gatherings or because they observed how three rivers (the Menomonee, the Kinnickinnic and the Milwaukee) met before flowing into the waters of Lake Michigan.
Nestled along a magnificent bluff overlooking one of Lake Michigan’s most beautiful bays, Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin and the 19th largest nationwide. Today Milwaukee is bold, beautiful and spectacularly progressive. Yet the city remains as genuine as ever. It’s still the place where you can best experience the very spirit and values America is built on.
In addition to being accessible by boat, Milwaukee is conveniently located near the intersection of interstates 94 and 43.
