In 1930 the Village of Lannon was incorporated out of parts of the [[Menomonee, Wisconsin|Town of Menomonee]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://villageoflannon.com/living-in-lannon/ |title=The Village of Lannon |publisher=Village of Lannon |access-date=October 18, 2022}}</ref>

===Lannon stone===
[[Lannon stone]], a type of [[limestone]] or [[Dolomite (rock)|dolomite]], is named for the town, as it was quarried here. John Halquist built one of the state's largest stone companies from Lannon stone first in [[Sussex, Wisconsin]], and then in several locations.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://halquiststone.com/company/index.html |title=Halquist Stone |publisher=Halquist Stone |access-date=July 2, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160714130150/http://www.halquiststone.com/company/index.html |archive-date=July 14, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Lannon stone was the major source of stone for many cities in Wisconsin and for Chicago. It was widely used to provide a stone veneer on bridges.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bridgehunter.com/category/tag/lannon-stone/|title=Lannon Stone|website=Bridgehunter|access-date=July 2, 2016}}</ref>

Lannon stone is variously asserted to be limestone rather than dolomite, or to be limestone which is also known as dolomite. [[Menonomee Park]] has been described as an excellent place to photograph Lannon stone.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC16916_lannon-stone-dolomite-unearthed?guid=49251ddf-3161-469f-9a56-ab9ef3d83514 |title=Lannon Stone: Dolomite Unearthed |website=Geocaching|access-date=July 2, 2016}}</ref>
