Waukesha County, County administrative division in Wisconsin, United States.
Waukesha County is an administrative division in southeastern Wisconsin in the United States, extending west of Milwaukee. The territory covers several towns and communities among lakes and farmland.
The administrative division was created in 1846 through division of Milwaukee County. The name comes from the Potawatomi language and means fox.
The region preserves strong ties to its New England settler heritage while incorporating influences from Welsh, Belgian, and Serbian immigrant communities.
