About Sussex, Wisconsin Real Estate
Suburban Excellence With Small-Town Privacy

Welcome to Sussex, Wisconsin!

Sussex is a village in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, United States. The population of Sussex was 8,828 at the 2000 census. Sussex is part of the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

The first settlers in the immediate area of the future Village of Sussex were George Elliott and Richard Cooling. Cooling opened a blacksmith shop near the four-corners in June 1843. Shortly afterwards other villagers came. Another blacksmith shop was opened by William Brown about 1849. A Union store opened in 1854, but was something of a failure, falling into the hands of Richard Cooling. Cooling became the Sussex Postmaster January 6, 1851 and operated the combined general store and post office for a decade, finally turning it over to his son-in-law, James Templeton. Templeton was a Civil War veteran who went on to prominent political positions. St. Alban’s wooden church and its cemetery were constructed at the central core of Sussex. The original church of wood was replaced by a stone church in 1864-66.

By the late 1880s, Sussex had become a prime stop for the emerging Wisconsin Central Railroad. In 1890 came the construction of the Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls and Western Railroad (Bug Line) to Maple Ave. where the Small family put up Sussex Mills. The following years, the Bug Line was expanded westward to Merton and North Lake. The big reason for the Bug Line was the Templeton Lime and Stone Company. The quarry, where Friday Canning is today, employed 50 workers earning between 12 and 15 centers per hour, producing “burnt” lime in multi kilns. Just a decade later, Sussex experienced the construction of the Northwestern Railroad, a half-mile north of Sussex’s Main St. There now were four railroad depots in the twin communities of Sussex-Templeton.

Today, the Sussex-Hamilton School District is home to F.I.R.S.T. Robotics FRC Team 537. A nationally known team, First Robotics 537 has won many awards including winning the St. Louis Regional (2004, 2006) and the prestigious Motorola Regional (2005). The team is very active in the community and helps two local Middle School F.I.R.S.T. Lego League Teams.

Sussex is also home to Quad/Graphics, a leading U.S. printing firm with 12,000 employees and $2 billion in annual sales. Quad/Graphics prints Newsweek Magazine as well as numerous other newsweeklies, prestigious monthly magazines, top catalogs, major national direct mail campaigns and more.
