The City of St. Francis is named after the patron saint of the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, who set up a convent and Roman Catholic seminary in city in the mid-19th century. Catholic Church land accounts for a significant percentage of the area of this small city, from the old St. Francis Seminary buildings to the "seminary woods" (as the large, undeveloped forest owned by the church is called by area residents) to the Archbishop Cousins Center, which is the practice location for the Milwaukee Bucks. The seminary itself has been an educational center to train men for the Catholic priesthood since 1845.

Today, businesses in St. Francis include Foamation (manufacturer of the world-famous "cheeseheads" worn by Wisconsin sports fans), and EZ Paintr, among other small manufacturers and service companies. Many residents work in the city of Milwaukee or in other municipalities in the Milwaukee area.

The Saint Francis School District provides the public education for the area. There are three schools in the district: Willow Glen, Deer Creek and Saint Francis High School. Another High School in the city of Saint Francis is St. Thomas More High School.
