Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee

Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee was a predecessor institution of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Founded in 1885 as Wisconsin State Normal School, it became Wisconsin State Teachers College-Milwaukee in 1927, and Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee in 1951. Originally at a downtown site, the Normal School subsequently moved to the Lakeside campus. In 1956, it merged with the University of Wisconsin–Extension's Milwaukee branch, forming the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
