West Allis takes its name from Edward P. Allis, whose manufacturing company became Allis-Chalmers in 1901 and built a large plant here in 1902, in an area then called North Greenfield and earlier Honey Creek. The village formed that same year and became a city in 1906, growing into the largest Milwaukee suburb of the early twentieth century. Today the Milwaukee County city is crossed by Interstate 94 and Interstate 41/894, with transit buses and the Hank Aaron State Trail near its northern edge, and the upper courses of the Root and Kinnickinnic rivers flow through town. Wisconsin State Fair Park hosts the annual state fair and contains the Milwaukee Mile, called the oldest racing facility in the world, while the Pettit National Ice Center is one of only two indoor speed skating rinks in the country. Every holiday season, Candy Cane Lane decorates Oklahoma and Montana Avenues between 92nd and 96th Streets. Public schools belong to the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, including Central, Nathan Hale and Dottke high schools.
