About Whitefish Bay

Whitefish Bay is a Milwaukee County village just north of Milwaukee, set along the shore of Lake Michigan. It is very much a close-in suburb, but the lakefront location gives it a clearer sense of place than many residential communities. The area was part of the Town of Milwaukee in the 1800s, when farming and fishing were major local activities and many early settlers were German immigrants. Today Whitefish Bay is also known for its local school district, which serves the full village.
