History

[edit]

The village is named for William Lannon, who settled here with his bride in 1834.[5][6] The area was granted the postal designation of "Lannon" in 1890. In 1930 the Village of Lannon was incorporated out of parts of the Town of Menomonee.[7]

Lannon stone

[edit]

Lannon stone, a type of limestone or dolomite, is named for the town, as it was quarried here. John Halquist built one of the state's largest stone companies from Lannon stone first in Sussex, Wisconsin, and then in several locations.[8]

Lannon stone was the major source of stone for many cities in Wisconsin and for Chicago. It was widely used to provide a stone veneer on bridges.[9]

Lannon stone is variously asserted to be limestone rather than dolomite, or to be limestone which is also known as dolomite. Menonomee Park has been described as an excellent place to photograph Lannon stone.[10]
