Located in Kenosha County, Salem is a town of over 10,000 located in southeastern Wisconsin. The town is home to multiple unincorporated communities, including Benet Lake, Camp Lake, Fox River, Lake Shangrila, Salem, Salem Oaks, Trevor, Voltz Lake and Wilmot.  

The first settlers to arrive in Salem were John Dodge and the Bullen brothers, who arrived in the summer of 1837. They quickly built a settlement on the Fox River, choosing the location due to its ability to easily facilitate water transportation. The town was established in 1842, and while it has steadily grown throughout the years, it has never lost its Midwestern charm.
