City Will Celebrate a Milestone on Tuesday, May 24
In 1956, the Mequon Town Chairman, Werner Mueller, appointed a committee to look into incorporating the entire Town of Mequon as a city. After numerous meetings of the committee and public informational meetings, a recommendation was made to the Board of Supervisors to petition the State Legislature to grant to Mequon status as a City. The 23rd day of May 1957 was set for the referendum and the results were 1,536 in favor and 265 against. Mequon received official status as a city on Friday, May 24, 1957. Happy 65 Years Mequon!
