Kenosha lies on the southwestern banks of Lake Michigan, 35 miles south of Wisconsin’s largest city, Milwaukee, and 50 miles north of Chicago. It is the fourth-largest city in the state of Wisconsin, with a population of close to 100,000, and the fourth-largest city on Lake Michigan’s western shoreline. Its waterfront location appealed to early residents like the Paleo Indians, the Potawatomi people, and the Ojibwa Indians, who fished for pike in the lake. The Ojibwa called their land Masu-kinoja, which described the way the fish would arrive at the same time to spawn.
Kenosha’s first European settlers arrived from New York in the early 1830s and built homes, churches, a post office, and the city’s first school. They called their town Pike Creek, after the fish that swam in the lake. The town was renamed Southport in 1837, to reflect its new status as a Great Lakes shipping port. A neighborhood in the city’s southeast still carries this historic name. In 1850, the residents settled on Kenosha, an Anglicized version of the ancient Ojibwa name.
