Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, a charming resort city in Walworth County, is nestled along the shores of Geneva Lake, approximately 40 miles southwest of Milwaukee and 65 miles northwest of Chicago. Originally named "Maunk-suck" after a Potawatomi leader, it was renamed Geneva by surveyor John Brink in 1836, inspired by Geneva, New York, and later became Lake Geneva to avoid confusion with a nearby town. Following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, wealthy Chicagoans built lavish summer estates along the lake, earning it the nickname "Newport of the West." Today, with a population of about 8,277 (2020 census), Lake Geneva thrives as a year-round tourism destination, offering boating, water sports, hiking along the 21-mile Geneva Lake Shore Path, and attractions like the Grand Geneva Resort, Safari Lake Geneva, and historic sites such as Black Point Estate. Its vibrant downtown features boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, and a rich history preserved at the Geneva Lake Museum.
