The Community of Germantown, WI

Germantown is a residential community located just northwest of Milwaukee. It is one of the largest villages in the state, covering 34 square miles. It is also one of the fastest growing communities in the state. Since 1990, its population has more than doubled.

Founded in 1838 by Germans who were attracted to the heavily wooded areas, the village still treasures its European heritage. The buildings feature German-style architecture and in May, village residents gather for a German Maifest celebration.

Germantown has a diversified economy that benefits from one of the largest industrial parks in the state. The village has two golf courses and several parks and offers a variety of homes and subdivisions. Larger lots are typical in the northern part of the village, while the southern half contains more compact developments.
