The Village of Shorewood operates as a local government entity in Shorewood, Wisconsin, providing municipal governance and public services to the surrounding community. Situated just north of Milwaukee on the shores of Lake Michigan, it is bordered by the lake to the east, the Milwaukee River to the west, and Whitefish Bay to the north. Incorporated in 1900 as East Milwaukee and renamed Shorewood in 1917, the municipality is among the Milwaukee area's older suburbs. It maintains a small to mid sized staff and serves residents and local businesses as the local government authority. One recent development is the 2025 Award of Distinction for impactful collaboration in budgeting decisions, reflecting ongoing governance initiatives.
