South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a city in its own right, separate from actual Milwaukee. The founders created it in the late 1800s and apparently just couldn't get too creative about the name, because it is just where you would expect it to be -- south of Milwaukee.
As of the last large census back in the year 2010, South Milwaukee had a population of just about 21,000 people. This exciting suburban city has a total land area of just under 5 miles with a very small body of water within its borders. Many important and mildly famous individuals have called -- and still call -- South Milwaukee their home. William P. Atkinson, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, lives here. Jackie Kashian, famous stand-up comedian, was born here, and pro wrestler Reginald "The Crusher" Lisowski has also spent quite a lot of time living in South Milwaukee. But you don't have to be a famous comedian or pro wrestler to find a good reason to live here. If you're looking for a convenient, fast-paced, and exciting place to live, look no further than South Milwaukee. There are many parks for outdoor enjoyment, museums, galleries, fine dining establishments, attractive homes of all sizes, as well as apartments.
