history
The first settlers, Sidney Evans and PG Harrington, came to the northeastern part of what is now the City of New Berlin in 1836. The area first came under local government in 1838 as part of the city of Muskego . In 1839 what is now New Berlin was separated from Muskego and was given the name Town of Mentor
On January 13, 1840, Town of Mentor became New Berlin. It was named by Sidney Evans in honor of his hometown New Berlin, New York State . The city remained very rural until the 1940s when the rural exodus from Milwaukee to the western suburbs began. Between 1850 and 1950, New Berlin grew from 1,293 to 5,334 inhabitants. Ten years later, in 1960, the population had almost tripled to 15,788. In 1959, the Town of New Berlin became the City of New Berlin through incorporations
Development, infrastructure
Great growth through the 1960s and 1970s was primarily the result of the construction of the New Berlin Industrial Park , which began in 1964. This industrial area is an important economically significant resource for the city of New Berlin and the Waukesha region. The facility consists of three separate business parks and covers 1,126 acres (4.6 km 2 ). The business parks are called Moorland Road Industrial Park, New Berlin Industrial Park and MSI / Lincoln Avenue Industrial Park.
In order to cope with the growing number of commuters from the surrounding area and the resulting increased traffic, the I-43 junction Moorland Road was rebuilt. At the motorway junction, a roundabout that is seldom found in North America was created, and it also has two lanes. This caused controversy in advance and at the beginning there were actually more instead of fewer accidents at the intersection.
