Historical Description

The first settler in Milwaukee was the French Canadian Alexis Laframboise in 1785, who opened a trading post there. The development of the city in the 19th century was shaped by the strong influx of German immigrants. Especially after the failed revolution of 1848, many disappointed and persecuted Germans were drawn to this part of the USA, which had only recently been opened for settlement.
