With a population of around 75,000 residents, Appleton is a mid-sized city located in the Fox Cities region of northeast Wisconsin. Founded in 1853, Appleton has a rich history and many attractions and resources for residents and visitors.

History

Appleton was founded in 1853 by settlers looking to harness the power of the Fox River for industry. Within a decade, paper mills and a hydroelectric plant were established along the river. This sparked the city's papermaking heritage that continues today. Major local companies like Kimberly-Clark and Appleton Coated started operations in the late 19th century.

Other industries like furniture making, machine tools, and foundries also took root in Appleton during this period. The city was incorporated in 1857 and named after founder Samuel Appleton. It continued to grow steadily into the 20th century.

Today, Appleton remains a center of paper-making and other manufacturing. It is also home to major regional health care, insurance, and retail companies, providing a diversified 21st century economy.
