Grafton Cleanup and Restoration

The Village of Grafton, located twenty miles north of Milwaukee in Ozaukee County, is centered on the Milwaukee River. The village is bordered by the City and Town of Cedarburg to the west and the Town of Grafton to the east. In 1896, the Village of Grafton was incorporated from the Town of Grafton.  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.

When French Jesuits from Green Bay travelled through Grafton in 1670, they found a Native American settlement along the river. Little is known of these early inhabitants. By the 1850s, these immigrant groups made up the bulk of Grafton’s population. German influence was especially strong; originally called Grafton, the area was known as Hamburg in the late 1850s, before briefly becoming Manchester, and finally returning to Grafton in 1862. Grafton’s importance in the region was highlighted by its service as one of a series of Washington County seats in the 1840s, before the creation of Ozaukee County.

Following the Second World War, Grafton’s population swelled as it took on a suburban character. The construction of Interstate 43, beginning in the 1960s, eased access to Milwaukee. Grafton’s population grew from 1,489 residents in 1950 to over 11,000 in 2010. Residential development accompanied this rapid growth. 

Grafton is home to seventeen public parks and the U.S.S. Liberty Memorial Public Library. The village’s houses of worship include St. Joseph’s Catholic and St. Paul Lutheran churches, which trace their origins to 1849 and 1851, respectively. The Aurora Health Care hospital in Grafton, opened in 2010, is the village’s largest employer.
