LAKE GENEVA ESTATES

Lake Geneva Estates was built to feature the rich and legendary history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. It is our hope that you find this site both educational and entertaining... As near as geologists can tell, Geneva Lake was formed about 20,000 years ago, as the last glacier traveled across North America. The lake is over 7 miles long from east to west and over 2 miles wide at its widest point from Williams Bay to the Lake Geneva Yacht Club... Many of these people stayed here at the lake through the fall and winter of 1871-72, while they waited city homes to be rebuilt. Within a few years, when the city and its industries were back on their feet and money was available, more and more Chicagoans began selecting Geneva Lake for their summer getaways.
