As it tumbles lakeward from Wauwatosa, the Menomonee River shapes the northern boundary of Story Hill. Settled largely after 1910, Story Hill is one of Milwaukee's newer neighborhoods. Perched on a bluff overlooking Miller Park, it is named for Hiram Story, a settler from Vermont who arrived to buy land here in 1843, then west of the city. Story started a farm, but soon turned to quarrying. Story and his brother Horace supplied builders throughout the area with high-grade dolomite, known regionally as Lannon stone. The Story quarry once occupied the north parking lot of Miller Park and land beneath Highway 41.
