Blood & Biohazard Cleanup Near Amber Fields Eagle, WI

Eagle is a village in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, located inside the Town of Eagle in the Kettle Moraine country of southwestern Waukesha County.

Eagle got its name in 1836, when pioneer Thomas Sugden and two companions spotted what they described as a 'monster bald-headed eagle' hovering over a mound on the prairie.

When the southern branch of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad arrived in 1851, the station village of Eagle Center sprang up and eclipsed the township's other settlements.

Eagle was incorporated as a village on September 11, 1899, and by 1880 it had already ranked as the third most commercially important community in Waukesha County.

Eagle was nearly renamed 'Diamond City' after one of the largest glacial diamonds in the United States was discovered there in 1876; the gem was later stolen from the American Museum of Natural History in New York and never recovered.

The 2020 census counted 2,071 people and 799 households in the Village of Eagle, up from 1,950 people in 2010.

Old World Wisconsin, in the Town of Eagle just outside the village, is the largest outdoor museum of rural life in the United States, with more than 60 historic buildings spread across 576 acres recreating the farmsteads of Wisconsin's immigrant settlers.

The village is instantly recognizable by its yellow water tower painted with a smiley face.

On the night of June 21, 2010, an EF2 tornado struck Eagle, leveling at least two homes and damaging several others; warning sirens failed to sound, but there were no fatalities.

Village Park in Eagle hosts Kettle Moraine Days, the community's annual festival, every June.
