Location:
Just five miles north of Madison, Waunakee enjoys both a unique identity and close proximity to the Capital City. Among the rolling hills of Dane County, Waunakee was originally founded as a supply center for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroads.

Today, Waunakee is a hub for three major transportation routes. Each day, thousands of commuters as well as freight travel through Waunakee en route to Madison, Highway 12, or Interstates 90 and 94.
