Mequon Wedding
Mequon is a city in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 21,823 at the 2000 census. The estimated population in 2002 was 23,261. The current mayor is Christine Nuernberg. Her term expires in 2007.
In July of 2005, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Mequon 19th on its list of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States. It was ranked jointly with Thiensville, the small village that is completely surrounded by larger Mequon. Mequon is served by the Mequon-Thiensville School District. The area was first originally inhabited by members of the Potawatomi and Menominee Indian tribes. European trappers, explorers and traders used the Milwaukee River through the middle of the current city as a means of transportation. The name "Mequon" is thought to have come from the Native-American word "Emikwaan" or "Miguan," meaning ladle.[1] This refers to how the Milwaukee River curves like a ladle in the Mequon area. The spelling was undoubtedly influenced by the French in the area at the time.
