Summary

Elm Grove is a village just 3.29 square miles in size that was incorporated in 1955. Elm Grove government is headed by a village president and overseen by a seven member board of trustees. The community was named America’s best suburb by Business Insider in 2014. Our 79 acre village park is named in Rob Bignell’s 2021 book entitled Wisconsin’s Best Wildflower Hikes. Village residents are willing to contribute to the village’s overall quality of life via a virtually unequaled collective volunteer spirit. Our village of tree-lined streets and expansive, well-maintained yards and gardens is a sanctuary for birds and other wildlife. The community takes pride in its Tree City USA, Bird City Wisconsin High Flyer, and Bee City USA designations and looks forward to being named the first Wisconsin National Wildlife Federation Community Habitat.
