Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in West Allis, WI

West Allis is a city in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and a suburb of Milwaukee within the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

West Allis had a population of 60,325 at the 2020 census, making it the eleventh-most populous city in Wisconsin, and the 2020 census counted 27,495 households in the city.

The city is named for Edward P. Allis, founder of the Edward P. Allis Company, a major Milwaukee-area manufacturer whose company became Allis-Chalmers in 1901.

Settlers established a farming hamlet called Honey Creek in the area in 1837, and the community was later platted as North Greenfield before the Allis plant arrived.

The village of West Allis was incorporated on May 31, 1902, with a population of just 1,018, and it became the city of West Allis in 1906.

After Allis-Chalmers built its huge new manufacturing plant there in 1902, West Allis became Milwaukee's largest suburb of the early 20th century, and its population grew fivefold between 1910 and 1930.

West Allis is home to Wisconsin State Fair Park, which has hosted the annual Wisconsin State Fair since 1892.

State Fair Park contains the Milwaukee Mile, the oldest continuously operating motor speedway in the world, and the Pettit National Ice Center, a U.S. Olympic training facility.

The Green Bay Packers played several regular-season home games per year at State Fair Park from 1934 through 1951, including the 1939 NFL Championship Game.

The grounds of State Fair Park preserve one of only two Indigenous effigy mounds remaining in Milwaukee County.
