As legend has it, a group of men left Milwaukee on May 26, 1837, and traveled for days in the rain. On June 9, the group emerged at the edge of the prairie and with the sun shining for the first time in days, carved the words "Sun Prairie" into a tree, naming the town.

Sun Prairie is the sixth-fastest growing city in Wisconsin, and the fastest-growing among cities of 10,000 or more, growing an estimated 23.6 percent between 2000 and 2006. If you are looking for a city with some oomph to it, then Sun Prairie is it!

This gives the feeling that you are in a small town with a nature-like ambience. You will never have to walk far to find a park or a green area in the city.
