Greystones of Cedarburg Near Mequon, Wisconsin Mequon is a city in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. In 2006, Mequon had an increase of 9.2% to an estimated population of 23,820.
Located along Milwaukee's North Shore, the City of Mequon boasts majestic lakeshore bluffs, stately homes, lush farmland and expansive open space. The community enjoys many parks, five golf courses, the winding Milwaukee River and easy access to the I-system for a convenient commute to Milwaukee. Mequon's rural heritage is preserved by high development standards and low-density zoning regulations. Fifty percent of the land within the city is undeveloped and still mostly farmed.
The area was first originally inhabited by members of the Potawatomi and Menominee Indian tribes. European trappers, explorers and traders used the Milwaukee River through the middle of the current city as a means of transportation. The name "Mequon" is thought to have come from the Native-American word "Emikwaan" or "Miguan," meaning ladle. This refers to how the Milwaukee River curves like a ladle in the Mequon area. The spelling was undoubtedly influenced by the French in the area at the time.
Between 1834 and 1836, Brink and Follett surveyed the land to create the Town of Mequon. Around this time, settlers came from New York and England, soon followed by German and Irish immigrants. In 1839, a group of immigrants from Saxony settled near the Milwaukee River. In the same year, twenty families from Pomerania founded a community they named Freistadt (German Free place) in western Mequon township. The first Lutheran church in Wisconsin was built by these families in 1840.
John Henry Thien, a wealthy immigrant from Saxony, traveled north from Milwaukee and settled along the Milwaukee River, where his family made a dam and grist mill. This area, one square mile in the middle of Mequon township, later was incorporated as the village of Thiensville in 1910.
Incorporated as the City of Mequon in 1957, this Northern Milwaukee community has one of the lowest crime rates and one of the lowest tax rates in the Metropolitan Milwaukee area. Property values have increased by an average of five percent each year for the last ten years. In July of 2005, CNN/Money and Money Magazine ranked Mequon 19th on its list of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States. It was ranked jointly with neighboring Thiensville, Wisconsin. The K-12 school system is ranked one of the best in Wisconsin. Concordia University and the North Campus of the Milwaukee Area Technical College are located in Mequon and offer a broad range of programs. Prime healthcare facilities and services are readily available throughout the city and include Columbia St. Mary's Hospital. Mequon is also a business-friendly community with over 300 businesses and an industrial park with small and mid-sized firms as well as large firms like Rockwell Automation.
