Milwaukeeland.

Milwaukeeland is a name occasionally used to refer to the Milwaukee metropolitan area in the USA. Milwaukeeland comprises the city of Milwaukee and the surrounding counties in the state of Wisconsin. "Milwaukeeland" is typically used to mean the "Milwaukee metropolitan area" in the same places where the similar term "Chicagoland" would be used. It is not commonly used by residents of greater Milwaukee, but rather by Chicagoland residents in reference to the Milwaukee area. The term might have originated in the pages of the Chicago Tribune (as did the term "Chicagoland").
