Zumikon is a municipality in the district of Meilen in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.
Until 1707, Zumikon was a separate municipality, and the integral part of Waltikon was independent too, along with Gössikon.
In the early 20th century, Zumikon remained a farm village claiming only 587 inhabitants in 1900.
The community centre (Gemeinschaftszentrum) was built in 1980, and that was when modern Zumikon took its form.
The mayor of Zumikon at that time was Elisabeth Kopp who was to become the first female Swiss federal councillor in 1984.
Zumikon is now a small town, consisting of mostly wealthy residents instead of farmers.
Of the rest of the land, 38.8% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (0.2%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).
Zumikon has a high percentage of expatriates from around the world, drawn by its easy commute to Zurich (15 minutes) and the International School.
