Brown Deer Cleanup and Restoration

Located in northern Milwaukee County, the suburban village of Brown Deer is bordered on the west and south by the City of Milwaukee. With an area of 4.5 square miles and a 2010 population of 11,999, Brown Deer is sometimes seen as a bridge between the city and the other North Shore suburbs of Shorewood, Bayside, River Hills, Whitefish Bay, Glendale, and Fox Point.

Brown Deer evolved out of the former Town of Granville upon its incorporation in 1955. Originally, most residents were farmers. By 1876, a hamlet named Brown Deer arose near the present intersection of Brown Deer Road and Deerwood Drive. Agricultural communities in their early days, Granville and, eventually, Brown Deer became home to increasing numbers of suburban commuters in the post-World War II era. By the year 2000, over 40% of Brown Deer’s residents commuted to Milwaukee for work.  SERVPRO is Here to Help these homeowners with any issues arising from water, fire, mold, or storm damage resulting from the often unpredictable Midwest weather.

In 1951 and again in 1952, the City of Milwaukee posted parts of Granville, including Brown Deer, for annexation. Responding to these actions, residents of Brown Deer began organizing for incorporation in 1953. Milwaukee, hoping to keep open its option for annexation, challenged Brown Deer’s action in court. Although the circuit court sided with Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed Brown Deer’s right to incorporate. The residents of Brown Deer approved their incorporation effort in a court-ordered referendum, leading to creation of the Village of Brown Deer on January 20, 1955.
