Cedarburg Cleanup and Restoration

Cedarburg is located in Ozaukee County approximately 20 miles north of the City of Milwaukee. Incorporated as a city in 1885 with a population of approximately 1,000 people, by 2010 the city’s population was 11,412. SERVPRO is Here to Help these homeowners with any issues arising from water, fire, mold, or storm damage resulting from the often unpredictable Midwest weather.

Cedarburg was settled by German immigrants in 1843. A grist mill was established on the Cedar Creek the next year. Cedarburg emerged as a rural trading center by 1846, with a flour mill, a saw mill, a hotel, and pharmacy. The area of this settlement remains the City’s economic center in the twenty-first century.

The first industrial mill on the Cedar Creek, Cedarburg Mill, was established in 1855. The second, Cedarburg Woolen Mill, was established in 1864. Cedarburg Woolen Mill became one of the largest woolen mills west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Cedarburg Nail and Wire Factory was opened in 1890, one of the first factories in the state to manufacture modern round nails. By the early 1900s the city had a cannery, a foundry, and numerous small consumer goods manufacturers.

Cedarburg witnessed its most significant economic and population growth after World War II. The city’s population grew by more than 84% between 1950 and 1960, from 2,810 to 5,191. This period of population growth witnessed the growth of new industries and housing developments. As new industry emerged and new housing tracts were laid out, some traces of old Cedarburg began to fade away. The German Turnhalle, once a vital community center, was demolished in 1961, with the Cedarburg State Bank built in its place. In the late twentieth century, however, the City placed the original settlement at the center of its economic development strategy. The downtown shopping district, centered on the Shops of Cedar Creek Settlement, was preserved. Cedarburg also developed a lively set of annual festivals; the annual Strawberry Festival in June draws thousands of tourists to the city’s historic core.
