  • History of the Milwaukee Mile
    History of The Milwaukee Mile The historic Milwaukee Mile, located at Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis, Wis., has been an iconic part of Milwaukee’s treasured past since 1876. The Mile has hosted thousands of nail-biting races, awarded thousands of winning trophies, welcomed loyal fans from across the country for nearly 150 years, and is a staple in the legacy of the West Allis community. The Milwaukee Mile opened as a private horse-racing track that was purchased by the Agricultural Society of the State of Wisconsin to create a permanent site of the Wisconsin State Fair Park. The track hosted its first dirt-track automobile race on Sept. 11, 1903, making The Milwaukee Mile the oldest operating motor speedway in the world. Aug. 22, 1965 - AJ Foyt (#1) sat on the pole for the State Fair Champ In 1954, the Mile bid farewell to the dirt surface as the track Car race in his front engine dirt track machine after his speedway car was paved with an asphalt surface, but half-mile and quarter- failed to show up at the track.
