Menomonee Falls is a village in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, United States.

The area that became Menomonee Falls was first inhabited by Native Americans, including the people of the Menominee and Chippewa tribes.

New neighborhoods were developed and the Menomonee Falls Public Library was built.

[12] By 1910, automobiles started being sold in the village, which led to an increase in paved roads.

By 1919, Highway 15 connected Menomonee Falls to Milwaukee and Illinois and, by 1922, to Green Bay.

[10] Along with all of this, the building of shopping areas had begun, including the Hiawatha Shopping Center, which today can be seen along Appleton Avenue, with Krueger's Entertainment and Pop's Custard as the main attractions.

This increased the attractiveness of Menomonee Falls, as an easy commute to Milwaukee jobs was now possible.

In 1965, a can manufacturing plant with a capacity of 150 million cans per year was established in the village, owned by Containers, Inc., a joint venture of the Miller Brewing Company and Carnation Company.

Shopping centers were developed and major employers established in the village, including Harley-Davidson and Wacker Neuson.

Reports in 2016 state, "As of 2016, the Village had an estimated 36,907 residents and had become an important economic hub of Greater Milwaukee area.

The overall economy of Menomonee Falls employs 18,839 people and "is specialized in Management of Companies and Enterprises; Manufacturing; and Wholesale trade".

[19] The largest industries in the village are manufacturing, healthcare/social assistance, and retail trade, which employ 3,917, 2,704 and 2,465 people, respectively.

Southwestern portions of Menomonee Falls lie within the Hamilton School District,[25] which also serves all of the communities of Sussex, Lannon, and Butler, portions of Lisbon, and a small part of Pewaukee.

[29] Milwaukee County Transit System bus routes 61 and 79 serve Menomonee Falls.
