Village Historian Thomas D. Brock has written a book on the history of the Village entitled 'Shorewood Hills: An Illustrated History'. "The Village of Shorewood Hills stands along the shores of Lake Mendota and adjacent to the University of Wisconsin-Madison...The Village of Shorewood Hills was founded in 1927 and remains a quiet enclave within the greater Madison area...The Village of Shorewood Hills was formed by the amalgamation of two real estate plats called College Hills and Shorewood. The College Hills plat is the older, established next to the University of Wisconsin in 1912-1915. The streets in the College Hills part of the Village are all named for colleges and universities. The Shorewood part of the Village was platted in the 1920s, and is along Lake Mendota and upon Blackhawk hill. The Village was established by order of the Dane County Circuit Court on July 31, 1927. At the time the Village was founded, the city of Madison was still remote, but ... Madison has grown out and surrounded the Village."
