Merton is a suburban enclave in Waukesha County
Swedish immigrants settled Merton in the 1840s, and the area soon developed into an agricultural center. By the 1900s, railroad connections and the automobile opened this community west of Milwaukee to more people. In the 1990s, farmers began selling off land to developers, who built the subdivisions that today house many of Merton's more than 3,400 residents. Merton also has the distinction of being the headquarters of Essential Industries, a global polymer manufacturer.
