'''Bayside''' is a village in [[Milwaukee County, Wisconsin|Milwaukee]] and [[Ozaukee County, Wisconsin|Ozaukee]] counties in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Wisconsin]]. The population was 4,482 at the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]]. Of this, 4,378 were in Milwaukee County, and only 104 were in Ozaukee County.

==Geography==
Bayside is located at {{coord|43|10|49|N|87|54|17|W|type:city}} (43.180275, -87.904735).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the village has a total area of {{convert|2.39|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web |title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=November 18, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125061959/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |archive-date=January 25, 2012 }}</ref> [[Lake Michigan]] borders the eastern edge of Bayside. Most of the village is in [[Milwaukee County]], but a small portion at the end of Lake Drive bordering Fish Creek is in [[Ozaukee County]].

==History==
The land that became Bayside was originally inhabited by Native Americans, who surrendered their land to the United States Federal Government in the 1830s. However, it is possible that the [[Potawatomi]] Chief Waubeka maintained a summer camp in Bayside and a winter camp in the Ozaukee County [[Waubeka, Wisconsin|community that bears his name]] as late as 1845.<ref>{{cite web|title=Village of Bayside: History|url=https://www.bayside-wi.gov/174/History|publisher=Village of Bayside|access-date=January 10, 2020}}</ref>

In the 19th century, the community was part of the [[Milwaukee (town), Wisconsin|Town of Milwaukee]], and most of the land was used for logging and then farming by the early [[Dutch Americans|Dutch-American]] settlers.

In 1885, the [[Uihlein family]], which owned the [[Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company]], began purchasing land in Bayside, which became Nine Mile Farm, where the company bred draft horses for the brewery. The Uihlein family also kept chickens and cows on the property, and began reforesting the area around 1910.<ref>{{cite web|title=Milwaukee County Landmarks: Bayside|url=https://milwaukeehistory.net/education/county-landmarks/bayside/|publisher=Milwaukee County Historical Society|access-date=January 10, 2020}}</ref> In 1969, the Schlitz Foundation considered getting rid of the land, which caused a debate in Bayside over whether it should become a public space or private developments. In 1971, the foundation donated the land to the [[National Audubon Society]] to create a nature center, which today is the 185-acre Schlitz Audubon Nature Center.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://content.mpl.org/digital/collection/wfb/id/7159/ |title=The Nine Mile Farm and How It Grew…Into the Schlitz Audubon Center |last1=Buttles |first1=Anson M. |last2=Woolf |first2=Lenore |publisher=Whitefish Bay Public Library |date=September 1972 |website=Volume 37: Village of Bayside history, p.75-78 |access-date=January 10, 2020}}</ref>

In the 1890s and early 20th century, prominent Milwaukeeans, including Jacob Donges and [[Usinger's|Frederick Usinger]], began to construct summer homes in the "Fairy Chasm" community near [[Lake Michigan]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Fairy Tale|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1998-03-08-9803080019-story.html|date=March 8, 1998 |publisher=Chicago Tribune|access-date=January 10, 2020}}</ref> The Fish Creek Park Company, organized in 1892, was one group that built vacation homes in Ozaukee County portion of what would become Bayside.<ref>{{cite web|title=Encyclopedia of Milwaukee: Village of Bayside |url=https://emke.uwm.edu/entry/village-of-bayside/#_ftn12-entry|publisher=University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee|access-date=January 10, 2020}}</ref>

Bayside grew rapidly during the post-war [[suburbanization]] and economic prosperity. Many of the homes in the village were constructed between 1950 and 1980.<ref name="ReferenceA">"Encyclopedia of Milwaukee: Village of Bayside"</ref> The village incorporated on February 13, 1953, to prevent annexation by the City of Milwaukee, as happened to other communities in the county, including the Town of Milwaukee and the [[Granville, Milwaukee|Town of Granville]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gard |first1=Robert |title=The Romance of Wisconsin Place Names |date=2015 |publisher=Wisconsin Historical Society Press |location=Madison, WI |isbn=978-0-87020-707-5 |page=22 |edition=2nd}}</ref> In 1955, some of the residents of the Fairy Chasm community in Ozaukee County petitioned to join Bayside. The southern part joined the village, while the northern portion became part of the [[Mequon, Wisconsin|City of Mequon]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

==Education==
Two public primary school districts serve Bayside. The Fox Point-Bayside School District serves the eastern part of the village, where students attend Stormonth Elementary and Bayside Middle Schools. The western part of the village is served by the Maple Dale-Indian Hill School District, where students attend Indian Hill Elementary and Maple Dale Middle Schools. [[Nicolet High School]] in [[Glendale, Wisconsin|Glendale]] serves all students residing in Bayside.

==Government==
The village of Bayside is served by its own police department but contracts out its fire fighting and EMS services to the North Shore Fire Department.
