History in brief: The area began as Prairie Village in the Town of Muskego, later called Prairieville. When Waukesha County was formed, the area became part of the new county. In 1852, Prairieville separated from the Town of Waukesha and became the village of Waukesha (later the city). In 2020, the area known as the Town of Waukesha voted to become a village. The City of Waukesha challenged this move in court, but the village won.
