This separate municipality is located north and west of the city of Sheboygan, with varying boundaries along the city and village lines of Sheboygan and Kohler, including enclaves of homes connected to the town by inches-long lines of property.

The town of Sheboygan has at various times started to take action to acquire village status in order to fend off annexation attempts by the city, but efforts have been unsuccessful thus far.

Law enforcement services are provided by the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office.

Part-time Code Enforcement Officers are employed to address parking and ordinance concerns.

Although Sam's Club announced the building of a 137,000 square-foot store in 2014 on the former site of an older Menards store,[8][9] after years of delays, Town of Sheboygan officials confirmed that the construction would not be moving forward, though Walmart continues to own the vacant land as of 2022.

The town moved its town hall in December 2020 from its former cramped building at North 40th Street and Superior Avenue to an existing building in the Erdman area, as it became clear during the pandemic that it could not operate meetings or elections out of it to allow social distancing, and to address longstanding accessibility concerns.
