History

Whitefish Bay was first settled by Native Americans and later by fishermen and farmers. In 1889, Captain Frederick Pabst, one of Milwaukee's beer barons, spent $30,000 to take advantage of Whitefish Bay's unique location by developing a popular lakeshore resort, which he called the Pabst Whitefish Bay Resort. Native Americans are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska. ... Frederick Pabst (March 28, 1836 - 1904) was an American brewer, born at Nicholausreith, in Saxony, Germany. ...

As many as 10,000 visitors would come to the resort on a summer day by horse and buggy, railroad, trolley or excursion steamer. They came to enjoy the scenic view, to ride the Ferris wheel, attend daily concerts (double concerts on Sunday), rent row boats, watch outdoor movies, drink beer and dine on fine fare, including five types of whitefish netted daily in the adjoing bay. The resort's popularity faded in 1914, and the park was closed. In 1915 the land was subdivided into residential lots.

Whitefish Bay's emphasis on education began when farmers in the area demanded local schooling for children living in the area. In 1892, the 392 residents incorporated a village and built a school of their own on a triangle of land now known as Old Schoolhouse Park, across from today's public library.

Whitefish Bay had a surge of home building in the 1920s and a bigger boom in the late 1940s and early 1950s. At its peak in the 1960s and 1970s, the village's population was over 18,000, but it is currently just over 13,500.
