Milwaukee
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.
Milwaukee is the largest city within the state of Wisconsin and 22nd-largest in the United States. The city is the county seat of Milwaukee County and is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. As of the 2005 U.S. Census estimate, Milwaukee had a population of 578,887. The city is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee Racine Waukesha metropolitan area with a population of 1,753,355.
Milwaukee lies along the shores and bluffs of Lake Michigan at the confluence of three rivers are the Menomonee, the Kinnickinnic and the Milwaukee. Smaller rivers, such as the Root River and Lincoln Creek also run throughout the city. Because Lake Michigan is too large to see across, Milwaukee's waterfront resembles an ocean rather than an inland lake. Milwaukee's terrain is relatively flat, except for steep bluffs along the lakeshore that begin about one half mile north and four miles south of the downtown.
In the city the population is spread out with 28.6 percent under the age of 18, 12.2 percent from 18 to 24, 30.2 percent from 25 to 44, 18.1 percent from 45 to 64, and 10.9 percent who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 31 years. For every 100 females there are 91.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 87.2 males.
Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and gain enthusiasm in its natural beauty and populace. Milwaukee enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers.
