City of Waukesha

 

Waukesha County is home to more than 360,000 people and the county seat is Waukesha. Named "Waukesha", which is Native American for "By The Little Fox", the county is traversed by picturesque rivers and streams. The county's 77 lakes are popular fishing grounds for visitors from far and wide. Outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts enjoy trekking through the county's abundant forest lands, hiking and biking the county's more than two hundred miles of trails, including a portion of the Wisconsin Ice Age Trail. Camping, swimming, boating, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing are all available in season. Waukesha County hosts a lively arts community, ranging from the Waukesha Symphony Orchestra, Carroll Players, Waukesha Civic Theatre, Waukesha Choral Union and outdoor concerts at the Les Paul Band Shell in the City of Waukesha.
