History
The city was first settled by Ruben Strong, Ebenezer Cornwall and Pete Marlett from the State of New York. The pioneers found a rustic environment that was wooded and contained fresh water springs that they claimed as paradise. The settlers used the fertile soil and laid out acres to raise produce that was sold in the area. Trails left by the Native Americans were converted into roads for wagons. A brick school was constructed in 1860 where seven students attended. The Garfield Building, which houses the West Allis Historical Society, stands in the very spot of the aforementioned school. In 1853, the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society was formed to organize a State Fair. The Steven’s dairy farm was purchased to hold the fair in 1891. The farm with all of its buildings was burned to the ground, so new buildings had to be constructed to house the fair. Residents of the North Greenfield area voted to manage their village and named it West Allis in 1902.
