History of Germantown:
Germantown was formed by seven different hamlets (towns). It was originally one square mile at the beginning. The original name for Germantown was “Town 9” Washington County, Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Germantown was officially incorporated in 1924 and stayed as a farming community until 1963, when Milwaukee County took a small piece of land from Washington County to build a landfill. The landfill today is much larger in size and can be seen down County Line Road. 
After the landfill was made, many surrounding towns feared that Milwaukee County would try to take the surrounding unincorporated hamlets of Kuhburg, Willow Creek, Meeker Hill, Goldenthal, Rockfield, Dheinsville, and Germantown. They all decided to merge into one incorporated village and Germantown was born. At the time of this event in 1963, the village grew to about 24 square miles. Some of the unincorporated areas wanted to keep their own identity, which is why there is the Town and Village of Germantown. Since 1963, boundaries have continued to change and over time Germantown has grown to over 35 square miles. Source: germantownwi.gov
