The area was first originally inhabited by members of the Potawatomi and Menominee Indian tribes. European trappers, explorers and traders used the Milwaukee River through the middle of the current city as a means of transportation. The name "Mequon" is thought to have come from the Native-American word "Emikwaan" or "Miguan," meaning ladle.[1] This refers to how the Milwaukee River curves like a ladle in the Mequon area. The spelling was undoubtedly influenced by the French in the area at the time.
Between 1834 and 1836, Brink and Follett surveyed the land to create the town of Mequon. Around this time, settlers came from New York and England, soon followed by German and Irish immigrants. In 1839, a group of immigrants from Saxony settled near the Milwaukee River. In the same year, twenty families from Pomerania founded 'Freistadt' (German Free place) in western Mequon township. The first Lutheran church in Wisconsin was built by these families in 1840.
