Waukesha is located near the center of Waukesha County in southeastern Wisconsin, 18 miles west of Milwaukee. Waukesha is also located 59 miles east of Madison. The city shares borders with City of Brookfield, Town of Brookfield,Genesee, New Berlin, City of Pewaukee, Village of Pewaukee, Town of Delafield and Town of Waukesha.
It seems a rather pleasant town, full of large trees and small parks. The Fox River runs through the center (and apparently is erroneously thought to be the source of the town's Native American-ish name) and right by the city/county building that houses those working on the 'Zoo Project', which is the redesign of the 'Zoo' interchange and surrounding roads. The interchange is located on the Western edge of Milwaukee, on the North side. In fact right on the way to Waukesha itself, and named after the County Zoo which located at its Northwest corner.
