The Potawatomi were the native inhabitants of Muskego. There are three lakes within the city’s boundaries.

The history of Muskego started originally as the house of the Potawatomi, who named it “Mus-kee-Guaac”, which means “sunfish”. The first European came in 1827 and a few years later (1833), the Potawatomi tribe ceded their lands in Wisconsin to the United States government. The first remaining settlers, coming from New Hampshire, were the Luther Parker family.

Once an agricultural area, Muskego was incorporated as a city in 1964. When it became a city it included the unincorporated communities of Durham Hill and Tess Corners. With an enlargement in housing developments in the city, it has become a bedroom community for Milwaukee.

Muskego Beach Amusement Park (1861–1967), later known as DandiLion Park (1968–1977), was a popular amusement park located on the southern bank of Little Muskego Lake. It was at some point home of the world’s fastest roller coaster.^{[citation needed]}
