Lake, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin annexed lands south to the border of South Milwaukee. In July 1951, the area along Lake Michigan north of Cudahy and south of Milwaukee incorporated as the City of St. Francis in order to prevent annexation from Milwaukee and keep profits from the South Shore Power Plant in the area. The City of Milwaukee annexed the remaining portion of the town on April 6, 1954, at which point the town ceased to exist. The City of Milwaukee grew by about 15,000 people overnight. As part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Public Works Administration New Deal, an octagonal tower was built
