Lauderdale Lakes is a census-designated place in the town of La Grange, Walworth County, Wisconsin, United States.

James' wife didn't like living next to the water so they built a larger house next to the road in 1855.

[3] Eight years later, Chicago native John Wheeler bought the shoreline property and started building the Sterlingworth Hotel in 1893.

[3] The area sits within the town of La Grange, and is about 10 miles away from the nearest city, Elkhorn, as the crow flies.

It was designated in 2016 by the Kettle Moraine Land Trust board to honor its former president of 15 years, Jerry Peterson.

The area is also home to small numbers of Hispanic or Latino inhabitants and people of two or more races.
