Situated in the gorgeous Great Lakes Region of America, the Badger State is home to some of the country's finest communities. Combining beautiful natural surroundings with intelligent city planning that has created a cozy community, Wisconsin cities like Oconomowoc have developed a reputation as one of the best places to live in the country.

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin's Lake Country, Oconomowoc is a community that shines year round. It has skillfully balanced the concerns of preserving the pristine nature surrounding the city with developing a thriving local economy. As a result, Oconomowoc is now one of Wisconsin's fastest growing communities and also one of its prettiest.

Situated in scenic Waukesha County, Oconomowoc is home to over 12,000 residents. It is located partially within the Town of Oconomowoc and near the Village of Oconomowoc Lake. The city has a long history that stretches back to 1837 when Charles Sheldon built a log cabin in the area. Making its name in the late 19th and early 20th century as the summer getaway for wealthy families from Chicago, St. Louis, and Milwaukee, there are still remnants of these lavish country mansions in the city.

However, since that period, the city of Oconomowoc has changed. While presidents may no longer visit the mansions that dot Oconomowoc as they used to back in the day, the city has established a higher quality of life standard for its residents.
