From Picturing Milwaukee's Neighborhoods
- As early as 1853, an observer noted the remarkable degree of ethnic and economic segregation that existed in Milwaukee.
- The location of industry along the major rivers further defined the city by ethnicity and class.
- The other two sectors - the Northwest and South Side - retained their association with Milwaukee's two large ethnic groups for an extended period. As stated in 1891, " . . . the southwestern section of our city is all Poland; the northwestern all Germany . . ."
- The Irish, once associated with the Third Ward, created an enclave/neighborhood west of the downtown in the Merrill Park area beginning in the 1870s.
- Until the 1960s, ethnic rather than racial identity distinguished the working-class neighborhoods.
