[3] The former unincorporated communities of Berryville, Central Park, and Kellogg's Corners are located in the village.

[7][8] The community was originally named Pike on April 15, 1843, by an act of the Wisconsin territorial legislature,[9] and became Somers in 1851.

[15] The area once was the location of the namesake Central Park, a sprawling private recreational park, baseball field, and picnic grounds that was served by a stop of the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company (TMER&L) interurban line which had installed layover sidings for its rail cars waiting to reload and return picnickers to their homes.

The Central Park picnic grounds were later sold and renamed "Minkowski's Grove", which since has been subdivided and no longer exists for public usage.

By far, the most notable Kellogg's Corners landmark was the Greek Revival mid-19th century Kellogg's Corners School, an early historic one-room school of frame construction that eventually became privately owned and was demolished by its owner in 1990.
