Lannon is a village in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 1,107 at the 2010 census. Lannon is a part of the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
History
The village is named for William Lannon, who settled here with his bride in 1834. Lannon is what Lannon stone, a type of limestone or dolomite, is named for, as it was quarried here.
Lannon stone
John Halquist built one of the state's largest stone companies from Lannon stone first in Sussex, Wisconsin and then in multiple locations.
Lannon stone was the major source of stone for many cities in Wisconsin and was a major source for Chicago, too. It was widely used to provide a stone veneer on bridges.
Lannon stone is variously asserted to be limestone distinct from dolomite, or to be limestone which is also known as dolomite.
Menonomee Park has been named as an excellent place to photograph Lannon stone.
