Waukesha County, Wisconsin
Waukesha County is a county in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. As of the 2010 census, the population was 389,891,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/55/55133.html )〕 making it the third-most populous county in Wisconsin. Its county seat is Waukesha.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕
Waukesha County is included in the Milwaukee–Waukesha–West Allis, WI Metropolitan Statistical Area.
==History==
The part of Wisconsin that Waukesha County now occupies was a part of Michigan when Milwaukee County was organized in September 1834. On July 4, 1836, the Wisconsin Territory was formed, which included land currently in the state of Minnesota.〔 In January 1846, part of Milwaukee County was split off into Waukesha County. Curtis Reed was the first county chairman.〔 When voting took place to decide the county seat, Waukesha beat out Pewaukee by two votes.〔 The name is derived from the Potawatomi word for 'fox' because the streams in the lower part of the county drain into the Fox River.〔 〕
Waukesha was a New England settlement. The original founders of Waukesha consisted entirely of settlers from New England, particularly Connecticut, rural Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, as well some from upstate New York who were born to parents who had migrated to that region from New England shortly after the American Revolution. These people were "Yankees", that is to say they were descended from the English Puritans who settled New England in the 1600s. They were part of a wave of New England farmers who headed west into what was then the wilds of the Northwest Territory during the early 1800s. Most of them arrived as a result of the completion of the Erie Canal as well as the end of the Black Hawk War. When they arrived in what is now Waukesha County there was nothing but dense virgin forest and wild prairie, the New Englanders laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings and established post routes. They brought with them many of their Yankee New England values, such as a passion for education, establishing many schools as well as staunch support for abolitionism. They were mostly members of the Congregationalist Church though some were Episcopalian. Due to the second Great Awakening some of them had converted to Methodism and some had become Baptists before moving to what is now Waukesha County. Waukesha, like much of Wisconsin, would be culturally very continuous with early New England culture for most of its early history.〔''The History of Waukesha County, Wisconsin: Containing an Account of Its Settlement, Growth, Development and Resources; an Extensive and Minute Sketch of Its Cities, Towns and Villages--their Improvements, Industries, Manufactories, Churches, Schools and Societies; Its War Record, Biographical Sketches, Portraits of Prominent Men and Early Settlers; the Whole Preceded by a History of Wisconsin, Statistics of the State, and an Abstract of Its Laws and Constitution and of the Constitution of the United States Western Historical Company'', 1880 pages 173, 232, 233〕
