Oconomowoc, WI was first settled by Native Americans due to its abundant woodlands and lakes. The first white settlers came in 1837, and after the railroad was established, the city became a summer retreat for tourists from the Midwest.

The city is full of outdoor recreation in the woods and lakes. There are options for biking, hiking, sailing, swimming and more. There are activities and fitness programs at the 33 parks across the city. In the winter, when the lakes freeze over, figure skating and hockey become the sport of the season.

Oconomowoc is a family-friendly city full of great schools, recreational activities, and community events.
