Monona Wisconsin

Monona is a city in Dane County. The population was 8,046 as of 2007. It is completely surrounded by Madison and is part of the Madison Metropolitan Statistical Area. By the 1980s, there was no additional land available for city annexation so Monona became landlocked by the City of Madison and by bodies of water.


One of Monona’s greatest assets is being on the shore of Lake Monona, 2 miles across the water from Madison. Lake Monona is a freshwater lake, the second largest of a chain of lakes along the Yahara River. The name 'Monona' is a Chippewa word believed to mean 'beautiful'. It is about 3274 acres with 13 miles of shoreline; 40% publically owned. Lake Monona offers local residents boating and fishing amenities making the Town of Monona a desired place to live.

 

 The City of Monona has been working to find the most suitable ways to develop and redevelop the area along the Broadway Corridor: The River Place, Pier 37, and Ahuska Park developments are the result of these efforts.
