A Short History of Post # 1 Wisconsin American Legion
Germantown, Wisconsin

We are proud that our Post is numbered "ONE" because it was the first American Legion Post in Wisconsin to receive a charter after The American Legion was organized in Paris in 1919. Actually, the number "ONE" went to the Arthur Kroepfel Post, which along with five others, merged in 1924 and cal

led themselves Milwaukee Post #1. For years, it was informally known as the "Mother" Post and the "Officials" Post, and its membership included a large number of Milwaukee City & County officials and employees. The Post had patriotic, service and social programs, sponsored bands and drum & bugle corps, and participated in County, District and State golf & bowling tournaments. The Post varied in membership from about 300 to more than 1,000 shortly after World War II. Post #1 occupied a number of meeting places since 1919, including memorial buildings at 31st & Wisconsin and 34th & Capitol in Milwaukee, and its present location at Pilgrim & Freistadt in Germantown. When the opportunity arrived to merge with Germantown Post #321, the membership approved a resolution on the merger on December 8th, 1994. A new memorial building was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1997.
