The town is situated in a limestone region with outcroppings in the northwest section.

City of Oconomowoc
The City of Oconomowoc is at the center of an area known for the natural beauty of several lakes.
Within the city are Fowler Lake and Lac La Belle, which are joined by a waterfall and are the centerpieces of many year-round activities.
The city's history dates back to 1837 when Charles Sheldon first came to the area to build his log cabin. From that time on, word of the area's natural beauty and wealth began to spread, bringing settlers such as John S. Rockwell who built the grist mill, owned the first store and hotel, and donated sites for the churches.
Oconomowoc, a Potawatomi word meaning "river of falling waters" or "where the waters meet" or "river of lakes," was incorporated as a city in 1875 when its population was 2,121.
No matter what time of the year it is, Oconomowoc is home to many events such as holiday parades sponsored by the Oconomowoc Area Chamber of Commerce, Festival Week and the nationally renowned Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts, held each August in Fowler Park.
Town of Oconomowoc
The Town of Oconomowoc has a rich history that dates back to the early 1800s, when the area's first settlers arrived in the area.
Before 1844, the Town of Oconomowoc actually was first part of Summit Township. In 1844, the Town of Oconomowoc was born. Today, the town continues to be a popular destination spot for tourists, businesses and homeowners because of its country charm and rural atmosphere.
Several unincorporated communities are part of the Town of Oconomowoc. Okauchee, which sits on the shores of Okauchee Lake, Mapleton and Monterrey are all part of the town.
The town is located in the far northwest corner of Waukesha County and offers a mix of agricultural and residential areas. The town is also home to several light industrial and retail businesses.
The Town of Oconomowoc is bordered by the Town of Ashippun in Dodge County to the north, the Town of Ixonia in Jefferson County to the west, the Town of Summit, Village of Oconomowoc Lake and City of Oconomowoc to the south, and the Town of Merton to the east. The town surrounds the Village of Lac La Belle.
Village of Oconomowoc Lake
The Village of Oconomowoc Lake is a small community nestled along the shores of one of the area's biggest lakes.
Oconomowoc Lake's history is noted in the great mansions that overlook the lake and were once home to some of the most influential people in the Midwest. The Pabst family, which once owned and operated Pabst Brewing in Milwaukee, still calls Oconomowoc Lake home today.
Along with the historic homes that dot the landscape, the village offers residents many conveniences by being home to several small businesses.
Many people call the village home because it offers quiet country living while being close to shopping and businesses in surrounding communities.
The village is home to the Oconomowoc Lake Club, which hosts events and galas throughout the year. Oconomowoc Lake is close to several public and private golf courses in the area and is just a short drive from major highways.

I service, and more importantly see you at closing in all of Waukesha, Jefferson, Dodge,Milwaukee, Walworth Counties, and beyond. When you want a Realtor that will put you first call, call Glenn Shon
Hello, and my name is Glenn Shong. You are going to want to take some time and get to know me. I am not your average Broker, and I have the friends, colleagues, and fellow brokers to back me up on that on.
When I got into Real Estate in 1986 I soon realized that I wanted to make a difference from being like the average Realtor. After all, I had been in Vietnam, I worked as a milk man, and I have had the chance to have a number of jobs and positions that allowed me to get to know people, and to further get to know what people really wanted in life.
My general conclusion was that I wanted people to treat me the same as I would treat them. Hence, the application of the Golden Rule, and the start of Glenn Shong building A Real Estate career that would be unparalleled with any other Realtor located in South Eastern, Wisconsin
Over the years I have had the insight and direction to know that I always had to stay one step ahead of my competition. I started out as Residential Real Estate, which has blossomed into Commercial, Investment, Industrial, land development, portfolio building, leasing, Water properties, luxury homes, and New Construction.
I have made a living doing what I do best; enjoying people. I believe that every customer and client should be treated as if they were my first, and my only customer, or client. I should give people my undivided attention at all times, and they should be able to call me, or sit down with me when they want to, and together we work on rolling up our sleeves so we can accomplish their goals. They have that commitment from me, and they always will, that is what I pledge to you as a new client or customer, or a friend that started out as a client or customer.
My social and business networking includes www.facebook.com www.naymz.com www.linkedin.com www.ecademy.com www.zing.com www.plaxo.com www.pulse.com www.spock.com www.remax.net www.agentxl.com www.glennshong.com and more.
I also am part of www.localism.com/glennshong.com www.activerain.com/glennshong and more.
I have known Glenn Shong for years, and everytime I walk away from a meeting or conversation with Glenn I am amazed at how much I have learned. Glenn could have easily been a teacher with all the knowledge, compassion, and determination that he presents. Being around Glenn is like watching a plant grow; it is a process of photo synthesis, and reaching for the light to allow for further growth. Always a postive attitude and process. He cannot help but rub off on you. I am very fortunate to know him.
