Why is Milwaukee called Cream City?
It's actually a centuries-old nickname.
When early buildings in Milwaukee were built in the 19th century, they used local clay to create the structures, according to WUWM.
That clay has a light yellow color, like cream.
That gives the whole urban landscape a unique, light-colored vibe.
Thus, "Cream City."
The bricks were originally from red clay, but when they were put in fire, they became yellow.
Buildings made from the 1850s through 1880s were built in this structure.
Who would've thought that more than 100 years later, the city's basketball team would wear jerseys that recognize those light-colored clay brick routes.
But here they are, the "Cream City" Milwaukee Bucks.
