Suburban Living with a Village Feel
Menomonee Falls, the largest village in Wisconsin, traces its roots back to the 1840s when it began as a mill town along the Menomonee River. Its historic downtown grew around the Mill Pond, where early businesses and residential neighborhoods took shape. By the 1930s, the community began expanding with modern subdivisions, laying the groundwork for decades of steady growth.
The postwar era brought a surge in housing during the 1950s and early 1960s, followed by significant business development along major corridors and within industrial parks. Another wave of residential and commercial expansion in the 1990s and 2000s attracted major employers such as Kohl’s Corporation and Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin. Today, Menomonee Falls continues to thrive with a mix of new construction and redevelopment, offering a balance of historic charm, modern amenities, and strong economic opportunity.
Menomonee Falls is the largest village in Wisconsin yet retains a welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere. Its historic downtown features local shops and eateries, while outdoor spaces like Menomonee Park provide natural escapes. Residents also enjoy easy access to Milwaukee’s amenities.
The School District of Menomonee Falls is known for innovative teaching methods and strong student outcomes. Menomonee Falls High School offers comprehensive academic and extracurricular programs.
