So it is modern Milwaukee’s birthday again, and I say modern of course because there has been a city here for ages before the current incarnation. It has been 166 years since the Bridge War caused the unification of Juneautown, Kilbourntown and Walker’s Point into Milwaukee.  Interestingly originally the area was known as Milwaukie or, I kid you not, Milwacky, both based on the names the Algonquin tribes had for the city here. In the 1830s, a newspaper started using the spelling “Milwaukee” and it stuck.

Thus began over a century and a half of this city’s insane history including inventing a new kind of Socialism, an isolated Polish tribe that declared independence from The United States, and the rescue of Joshua Glover, which lead to the formal secession of the South and the Civil War.
