The place now called Glendale, Wisconsin, has had many incarnations. It was once the home of ancient mound builders and,\u00a0later, a Menomini village. It became the Town of Milwaukee and, eventually, the City of Glendale. Now it is both a suburb of Milwaukee and a cooperative neighbor\u00a0to other North Shore municipalities, and UW-Milwaukee’s History Department’s own Amanda Seligman and Kimberly Hernandez, along with Martha Bergland and Nancy A. Herrick, are writing all about it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Glendale Book Cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Its land has been agricultural and industrial, commercial, and residential. And, always, running through its center, is the Milwaukee River, whose waters shaped life, powered Glendale\u2019s growth, and continue to attract admirers daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the creation of this diverse city, this book explores what came before and after that turning point in 1950. Four Glendale residents \u2013 historians, writers, editors, and teachers \u2013 explain how the city operates, where its residents play, work, dine, and shop, and why people choose to live here. Leaders of Glendale\u2019s schools, congregations, civic organizations, and city government share their perspectives. Dozens of photographs, maps, paintings, drawings, and artifacts illustrate the book, illuminating Glendale\u2019s many layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deeply researched, enriched by surprising detail, and representing many voices, Village, Town, City, Suburb<\/em><\/strong> provides a bridge to Glendale\u2019s past, documents the city now, and offers a hopeful peek at its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
