About Sussex
Sussex (population 11,487 at the 2020 census, per Wikipedia) sits about 19 miles northwest of Milwaukee and 9 miles north of Waukesha — founded in 1843 by George Elliott, a bricklayer from East Sussex, England, and Richard Cooling, a blacksmith from Dorset. It is a classic commuter village: a compact Main Street core with newer subdivisions radiating outward, plus the Bugline Trail for biking.
