The village was formed from the Town of Merton in 1928 by wealthy Milwaukeeans who owned summer homes in the area and were concerned nearly the level of police auspices provided. Forming their own village allowed them to have their own police department. The town of Merton, which objected to the formation of the village because of the loss of tax revenue, filed suit to prevent the incorporation. It was supported by hundreds of town residents who filed petitions taking into account the court. In January, 1928, the court clear that the village of Chenequa could incorporate. The judge addressed the local residents’ complaint that the public would be shut off from entry to the lake by stating that, “There is no merit to such contention. The lake is now touched by a public road, it has three hotels, where the public is invited and welcome to the lake. Besides, the county board can supervise any plats and can entrance up to the public any lake by the laying out and building of public roads.”

Many of the residents who own property approximately Pine Lake and Beaver Lake are descendants of Milwaukee and Chicago industrialists who built their summer mansions there during the late 1800s.
