A Look Back at Pewaukee's History
Pewaukee translated, means "Lake of Shells." First inhabited by resident Indian tribes Sauk, Menomonie, Winnebago and Potawatomi, white settlers did not arrive until 1836 to establish their homes along the Pewaukee Lake front and Pewaukee beach. One of the first settlers, Deacon Asa Clark, opened the first sawmill on Pewaukee Lake in 1838. In 1844, the lime and stone industry followed was successful for many years. To serve the growing number of Pewaukee workers, businesses such as general stores, blacksmith shops, and wagons shops were established.
Following the railroad extension from Milwaukee in the 1880’s, summer visitors began visiting Pewaukee and The Summer Resort Era began. A few classic mansions still exist along the shores of Pewaukee Lake. The Pewaukee area became known as an area of unrivaled beauty and a fisher’s paradise.
