Kenosha, Wisconsin
Kenosha (/kəˈnoʊʃə/[9][10][11]) is a city in and the county seat of Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States.[12] Kenosha is on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan.As of the 2020 census the population was 99,986, which made it the fourth-largest city in Wisconsin and the fourth-largest city on Lake Michigan.
Although closer to Milwaukee (about 40 miles) than Chicago (about 66 miles), Kenosha is part of the United States Census Bureau's Chicago combined statistical area (CSA)[13] and metropolitan statistical area.
It is home to the headquarters of the Fortune 1000 tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc., as well as the clothing company Jockey International.[15] Residents of the city are called Kenoshans.[16]
These refer to the annual spawning of trout, in which thousands of fish entered the rivers from Lake Michigan, providing food for the coming months.
It remains unclear if any sites pre-date the Clovis Culture[18] but, if so, those sites would be contemporaneous with the Wisconsin glaciation.[19] Paleo-Indians settled in the area at least 13,500 years ago.[20]
Thwarted in Milwaukee and Racine, the group arrived at Pike Creek on 6 June 1835, building log houses and later homes of frame, native stone, and brick.
The first school and churches followed, with platting completed in 1836.[21] As more settlers arrived and the first post office was established, the village was known as Pike Creek, then renamed Southport in 1837, a name which lives on as a southeast-side neighborhood, park, and elementary school, and has been adopted by several businesses.[22]
In 1850, the village changed its name from Southport to Kenosha which is its current name.
The name Kenosha was adapted from the Chippewa word kinoje (pike or pickerel).[23]
In May 1954, Nash acquired Detroit-based Hudson and the new firm was named American Motors Corporation.
A 47-acre (190,000 m2) west side park and an elementary school are named for Charles W.
Nash.[25] A prototype steam car was built in Kenosha by the Sullivan-Becker engineering firm in 1900.
Two years later, the Thomas B.
Jeffery Company, builders of the Sterling bicycle, began production of the Rambler runabout.
In 1902, Rambler and Oldsmobile were the first cars to employ mass-production techniques.
The 1903 Rambler was also the first US-built production automobile to use a steering wheel, rather than the then-common tiller-controlled steering.
Auto executive Charles W.
Nash purchased Jeffery in 1916 and the new company became Nash Motors.
The town argued that industrial development would jeopardize the town's residential nature.
The court found the annexation proper, with no illicit bribes or improper conduct by the city.
Two decades earlier, AMC's 1963 Rambler Classic had also received the award.
In 1987, Renault sold its controlling interest in AMC to Chrysler Corporation, which had already contracted with AMC for the production of its M-body midsized cars at the Kenosha plant.
The AMC Lakefront plant (1960–88), a smaller facility, was demolished in 1990 (a chimney-demolition ceremony that June drew 10,000 spectators) and was redeveloped into HarborPark.[27] The area now hosts lakeside condominiums, a large recreational marina, numerous parks and promenades, sculptures, fountains, the Kenosha Public Museum, and the Civil War Museum, all of which are connected by the Kenosha Electric Railway streetcar system.
A classic two-mile (3.2 km) downtown electric streetcar system was opened on June 17, 2000, and on September 22, 2014, the Kenosha city council approved a crosstown extension of the system incorporating the existing route between 48th and 61st Streets on both 6th and 8th Avenues.[29]
