The Village of Chenequa is located in the “lake country” portion of Waukesha County, about 30 miles west of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.\u00a0 It completely surrounds the 703 acre Pine Lake, and includes portions of Beaver Lake and North Lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for its tree lined roads, the Village has been named a “Tree City USA” each year since 1985, and is one of the smallest communities so designated.\u00a0 Land use planning has been a key goal of the Village since its creation.\u00a0 Village zoning requires each non-lake lot to have a minimum of 5 acres, and lake lots require from 2 to 4 1\/2 acres depending on lake frontage.<\/p>\n

The name “Chenequa” comes from the Potawatomi Indian word for “pine”, referring to a rare Southern Wisconsin grove of white pine. This same stand of white pine can be seen along the Eastern Shore of Pine Lake.<\/p>\n
