Turn Of Century Brings Resorts, School During the 1870 ' s and 1880 ' s, Whitefish Bay changed from a predominately rural community into a resort center. A number of these establishments existed; the Whitefish Bay Pabst Resort was by far the largest. Opened in 1889, the Pabst Resort successfully com- bined spacious grounds, the state ' s first Ferris Wheel, and excellent food — their specialty being whitefish — into a very famous and popular spot. Visitors came by private carriage, train, or via the steamship which ran from Milwaukee to Whitefish Bay. With the onset of prohibition, the resort era ended, and the Pabst Resort was demolished in 1917. During this era, Whitefish Bay was incorporated. After an 1892 census revealed that the Bay had a suffi- cient population (314 people), the populus voted on whether to form their o wn village and school district. With a vote of 74 to 14 in favor, the village was officially formed on June 7, 1892, thus becoming the first Mil- waukee suburb to incorporate. The first school was completed that same year. Built at a cost of $12,000, the two story frame structure stood across from the present library. It had four classrooms, which originally served fifty children. By 1918, this number had tripled. As this population growth reflects, the character of the Bay had changed again. This was the beginning of the residential age. ner ,i . 1. The Pabst Whitefish Bay Resort.
