NAI MLG Communities - Ocean View

The City of Delafield, located in Southeastern Wisconsin (Waukesha County), surrounds Lake Nagawicka. Delafield is strategically situated twenty-five miles west of Milwaukee and fifty miles east of Madison, the state capitol. Unique in its small town atmosphere and quaintness, Delafield, Wisconsin continues to attract families and businesses to its historic and beautiful landscape.

In the early nineteenth century, the area which is now Delafield was dotted with sparkling lakes, clear river streams and hardwood forests. Seasonal fishing and hunting camps of several Indian tribes could be found on the shores of the lakes and streams. Cabins were first settled on this rolling landscape in 1839. Other settlers, including farmers and merchants, soon followed. herds of sheep began to graze the gentle hills as grist and saw mills appeared along the streams.

Perhaps Delafield's most famous settler was Nelson Hawks, who moved here with his family from the state of New York. Mr. Hawks soon built a 3-story inn as a stage coach stop in 1846. Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, the Hawks Inn still stands today as an educational museum. Mr. Hawks named this little settlement Delafield and in 1848, the territory became the state of Wisconsin. Today this historic community thrives with over six thousand residents.
