Welcome to Milwaukee, Wisconsin - a Gamma global city of more than 2 million people and a regional GDP of more than $100 billion annually. The 'Milwaukee' name comes from its Native Algonquian and Winnebago inhabitants's word 'Millioke', which means 'beautiful waterside gathering place'. In 1818, Milwaukee was officially founded by Solomon Juneau, Byron Kilbourn, and George H. Walker, when their three separate towns came together, ending decades of hostility. In the 1840s, hundreds of small German breweries sprouted all over the city and suburbs - resulting in the operation of 132 beer hall or taverns - that's 1 for every 40 residents in 1856. World famous Miller Brewing started in 1855 and helped grow Milwaukee to the #1 beer produing in the entire world by 1981. Today, Milwaukee is the international headquarters of six Fourtune 500 companies: Harley-Davidson, Johnson Controls, Northwestern Mutual, Manpower, Rockwell Automation, and Joy Global.
