Milwaukee ( / m ɪ l ˈ w ɔː k iː / ) is the largest city in the State of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States . It is the county seat of Milwaukee County and is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan . According to 2010 census data, the City of Milwaukee has a population of 594,833 . Milwaukee is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee–Racine–Waukesha Metropolitan Area with a population of 2,043,904 as of an official 2014 estimate .
The first Europeans to pass through the area were French Catholic missionaries and fur traders . In 1818, the French Canadian explorer Solomon Juneau settled in the area, and in 1846 Juneau's town combined with two neighboring towns to incorporate as the City of Milwaukee. Large numbers of German and other immigrants helped increase the city's population during the 1840s and the following decades.
Known for its brewing traditions, major new additions to the city include the Milwaukee Riverwalk , the Wisconsin Center , Miller Park , an expansion to the Milwaukee Art Museum , Milwaukee Repertory Theater , and Pier Wisconsin , as well as major renovations to the UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena . In addition, many new skyscrapers, condos, lofts and apartments have been constructed in neighborhoods on and near the lakefront and riverbanks.
