On January 31, 1846, the town became part of Waukesha County.[1] [2] Portions of the town were incorporated as the village of Menomonee Falls in 1892,[3] the village of Butler in 1913[4] and the village of Lannon in 1930.[5]
The last remaining parts of the town were annexed by the village of Menomonee Falls in 1958.[6] [3]
