Waukesha, County seat in Wisconsin, United States.
The Fox River flows through Waukesha, a city covering 25 square miles of land at an elevation of 271 meters above sea level.
Morris D. Cutler first settled the area in 1834, which transformed from Prairie Village to Waukesha through official incorporation as a city in 1896.
The name Waukesha originates from the Ojibwe word Waagoshag, meaning fox, reflecting the Native American heritage of the region.
The city provides residents with public transportation routes, garbage collection services, and regular updates about ongoing construction projects throughout the community.
Waukesha gained recognition as Spring City in the late 1800s when visitors traveled to experience the reported health benefits of its natural spring water.
