Milwaukee, WI Factoid
First settled by the Potawatomi tribe, Milwaukee remained a fairly small development until the 1830s. By 1837, the population had grown to several hundred due to the influx of fur traders and their families. It wasn't until the 1840s though that the city really began to prosper. But by 1872, German brewers had made Milwaukee the biggest beer exporter in the country!

About Milwaukee, WI

Once known primarily as a beer-making town, Milwaukee today has only one major brewer, Miller. Never fear, though – the city of beer still has numerous taverns, bars, pubs and microbreweries. The Water Street Entertainment Center is alive and hopping with taverns, restaurants and, of course, brewpubs. Another highlight is the artsy Third Ward, a restored warehouse district that's now a National Historic Landmark featuring terrific dining, a lively nightlife scene, art galleries and antique shops. Other popular attractions include the outstanding Milwaukee County Zoo, the Midwest Express Center, and the Milwaukee Public Museum, one of the nation's finest. NBA fans can catch a Bucks game and baseball fans can cheer on the Brewers at Miller Park. Visitors can hop aboard several fun cruises on either Lake Michigan or the Milwaukee River. The city also has several great festivals, notably Summerfest and the Great Circus Parade. And no visit would be complete without sampling the two foods Milwaukee is best known for – frozen custard, a premium ice cream treat that you'll find all over town, and the fish fry, available throughout the week at most restaurants, and everywhere Fridays.
