==Neighborhoods== === Berryville === Berryville is a residential and business community located in the eastern part of the village, at the intersection of Kenosha County Highway A (7th Street) and [[Highway 32 (Wisconsin)|Highway 32]] (Sheridan Road). The community was named for the proliferation of strawberry farms in the area.<ref>{{cite book|author=Chicago and North Western Railway Company|title=A History of the Origin of the Place Names Connected with the Chicago & North Western and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railways|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OspBAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA44|year=1908|page=44}}</ref> The Berryville School was a community fixture into the 1980s, when it was demolished for new housing. Adjacent to the school to the south was the Mid-City Outdoor Theatre (1948-1984), one of Wisconsin's first drive-in theatres.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wikenosh/placenames.htm|title=Kenosha Co. WI Placenames|accessdate=January 23, 2023}}</ref> === Central Park === Central Park is a residential and business community within the southeastern corner of the village. It is centered on the intersection of Sheridan Road ([[Highway 32 (Wisconsin)|Highway 32]]) and Twelfth Street (Kenosha County Highway E).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.co.kenosha.wi.us/DocumentCenter/View/2408|title=Town of Somers, Kenosha County, Wisconsin|accessdate=January 23, 2023}}</ref> The area once was the location of the namesake Central Park, a sprawling private recreational park, baseball field, and picnic grounds that was served by a stop of the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company (TMER&L) interurban line which had installed layover sidings for its rail cars waiting to reload and return picnickers to their homes. Central Park often hosted many annual company picnics including those of the [[Nash Motors]] Company of [[Kenosha, Wisconsin|Kenosha]]. The Central Park picnic grounds were later sold and renamed "Minkowski's Grove", which since has been subdivided and no longer exists for public usage.<ref name="auto">[http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wikenosh/placenames.htm Kenosha County Place Names]</ref> === Kellogg's Corners === Kellogg's Corners (often called Kellogg) is a residential and agricultural community in the northwestern corner of the village.<ref name="auto"/> It lies at the junction of [[Interstate 94 (Wisconsin)|Interstate 94]]/[[U.S. Route 41 in Wisconsin|U.S. Route 41]] and [[Highway 195 (Wisconsin)|Highway 195]] at the border with [[Racine County, Wisconsin|Racine County]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.co.kenosha.wi.us/DocumentCenter/View/2408|title=Town of Somers-Kenosha County, Wisconsin|accessdate=January 23, 2023}}</ref> Kellogg's Corners was first settled in 1837 by three Kellogg brothers - Seth, Chauncey, and Thaddeus. By far, the most notable Kellogg's Corners landmark was the [[Greek Revival]] mid-19th century '''Kellogg's Corners School''', an early historic [[one-room school]] of frame construction that eventually became privately owned and was demolished by its owner in 1990. The school's rustic foundation remains to mark its location.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
