Coming to Neenah is like coming home. Quietly nestled along the shores of Lake Winnebago, Neenah is a friendly, spirited hometown, where life is safe, comfortable, and secure. Here you will enjoy the lifestyle of small town America and the convenience of living in the Fox Cities metropolitan area, the fastest growing urban center in Wisconsin.
This charming village at the mouth of the Fox River was settled in the early 19th century. Situated on Lake Winnebago, Neenah was named for a Native American word meaning water, and the city draws much from its past as a booming papermaking town. The region boasts an array of sightseeing and outdoor activities centered on Lake Winnebago, including fishing, boating, and tours of the 40-foot-tall Neenah Lighthouse, which sits at the mouth of the Fox River on a former Native American meeting site.
Local business leaders take pride in the development of the region into one of the 50 largest manufacturing centers in the country. Neenah’s public and parochial schools prepare students for personal and professional success. Three schools have received the national EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION award and our students consistently exceed standardized test score averages.
Opportunities for post high school education are provided by four area institutions, including traditional colleges and Fox Valley Technical College. Ranked among the nation’s top three vocational education schools, FVTC offers customized training programs to help business keep pace with changing technologies and specialized needs.
