Concordia to Wgema: 40 Years of Transitions
The Concordia neighborhood in Milwaukee's West End was named after Concordia College which was located there from 1881 until they relocated to Mequon in 1983. The campus and many surrounding residences were sold to the Forest County Potawatomi in 1990. The following stories provide an overview of how the campus has changed over time.

My warm thanks to the Potawatomi employees and the many neighborhood residents that gave their time to help me form a better understanding of the Concordia neighborhood as it existed in the 1970's through today.
