About the Neighborhoods: Silver City, Burnham Park, and Layton Park
This community is steeped in history, as can be seen in the historic landmarks shared in the places to visit below. An important part of this history is a community that was made up of immigrants throughout time. Historically, the land was home predominantly to Potawatomi, Menomonie and other indigenous people who still live here today. As European colonists arrived in Milwaukee, demographics began to shift to a predominantly Polish south side in the early 1900’s, and by the end of the century to a majority of Latin American immigrants and their descendants, like we still see today. The “portals” at 37th and Pierce street and 37th and National Avenue represent both the historic and current diverse nature of these neighborhoods and the multi-ethnic restaurant options, shared here and on the restaurant guide, highlight the diverse and welcoming nature of our neighborhoods.
Thanks to our friend's at Layton Boulevard West Neighbors for sharing this great neighborhood info! Learn more about Layton Boulevard West Neighbors.
