Appleton is a city on the Fox River 100 miles north of Milwaukee. Once known as the "woodland city" and later "the Lowell of the West" (after the city in Massachusetts), Appleton grew up along the Fox River, which provided waterpower and transportation for the paper manufacturing industry that still dominates the area.

There are nineteen communities along the Fox River in the greater Appleton area known as the Fox Cities. The area is recognized as having some of the best urban shopping options in Wisconsin.

Each community of the Fox Cities brings its own special history and personality, making the area a unique blend of urban style and small-town warmth.

The many trees, city parks, a river lined with old mansions, and interesting shops provide the community with a lively downtown. The river is a popular site for swimming, fishing, and boating.

Appleton consistently scores high on lists of the best places to live in the United States, including Money Magazine's review; it is safe, affordable, and offers a variety of cultural and artistic events.

Appleton today is a prosperous community founded in an appreciation for education, maintaining a certain "small-town charm" amid economic prosperity and downtown revitalization.
