History

Summit was initially a part of Milwaukee County. The town was first settled in the spring of 1837 by Andrew Baxter. In 1838, Curtis Reed, who was the first town chairman, became the first postmaster. By 1840, there were 335 settlers in Summit’s 36 square miles (93 km). The first town meeting, which took place on April 5, 1842, selected Ralph Frisbie as the first town clerk.

The first church building in the Town of Summit was constructed in 1842 at Nashotah Mission. When the mission was moved to Delafield, St. Mary’s Church on highways 67 and 18 became the oldest operating church in the town, dating back to 1871. The 1875 census reported 619 males, 540 females, 2 insane, 0 deaf and dumb, 0 blind and 0 colored. The last Native Americans in the area were seen in 1883. The first Town Hall was built in 1906 and torn down in 1954, after which another was built. On July 29, 2010, the town of Summit became a village. In April of 2018 the Village Hall moved into a new building located at 37100 Delafield Road, just south of the previous location.
