Oak Creek, City in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, United States.

Oak Creek is a city in Milwaukee County on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The area includes residential neighborhoods, shopping districts, and recreational parks for residents and visitors to explore.

The settlement began in 1840 as part of a larger township and became an independent city in 1955. This change allowed the community to maintain its own identity rather than merge with Milwaukee.

The local historical society preserves five heritage buildings where visitors can explore artifacts and exhibits related to regional life. These spaces tell the story of how people settled and developed this lakeside community.

The city has several schools serving local families and parks throughout the area for outdoor recreation. Shopping and residential areas are spread across the community, making them accessible from different neighborhoods.

A former industrial site became a modern town center that combines government buildings, shops, and homes in one place. This transformation shows how older locations can be reinvented for new uses.
