History
The land where Brown Deer was established was first settled by settlers in search of agricultural land from the East Coast. A small community was built after a separation of seven townships in the Milwaukee area in 1841. There are a few legends about how the village received its name such as “a deer jumped through a saloon door and broke up a card game in progress;” but it has been established that the name was claimed well before those stories were told. Talks about incorporating the town came to fruition in 1953.
