History

The present-day village of Pewaukee was settled in about 1837 by the Deacon Asa Clark of Lunenburg, Vermont, when he erected a hotel, sawmill, and church in this location. Pewaukee became a town in the year 1840, and then a village later in 1876.

Pewaukee is constructed upon aki or (w)aukee, which means “land” or “location” in several Algonquian languages. The significance and outright etymology of the initial syllable of the name is uncertain. Sources in Ojibwe nibiwaki “watery (i.e., swampy) place”, Potawatomi pee-wauk-ee-wee-nick “the dusty water” or “lake of shells”, and Menominee pee-wau-nau-kee “place of flint” have been suggested, as well as rather less unclear attributed meanings such as “snail lake,” “flinty place,” and “clean land”.
