The
Village of Fredonia lies between Hwy. 57 and the Milwaukee River on
County Hwy. H. Nestled within
its rolling hills, a variety of architecture can be found from the
1800’s to the present, housing a population of 2,160 friendly
residents.The seeds of the
village were planted in 1872, when the area, formerly known as Stoney
Creek, was
donated by Peter Martin and Peter Paulus to the Milwaukee and
Northern Railway Corporation for the railroad tracks and a depot.
The name Fredonia, which means “free gifts” or “the land where
things are
done freely,” was chosen.
Today, Fredonia is a thriving
community sporting an industrial park, fine school system, new home
developments and the rural charm of yesteryear. Come visit and enjoy
a relaxing day in Fredonia or
one of our many interesting events.
