History of Neenah Harbor

Neenah Harbor, situated on the western shore of Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin, has a rich history intertwined with the region's economic, cultural, and natural development. The harbor's origins date back to the mid-19th century, a period marked by rapid industrial growth and increased settlement along the Fox River and Lake Winnebago. As a gateway for trade and transportation, Neenah Harbor played a pivotal role in the expansion of the paper industry, which has defined the city's identity for over a century.

In the early days, Neenah Harbor was primarily used for transporting goods such as lumber and agricultural products. The Fox River’s strategic connection to Lake Winnebago and the Great Lakes system made it an essential waterway for commerce. By the late 1800s, the burgeoning paper industry began to dominate the harbor’s activities. Companies such as Kimberly-Clark and Bergstrom Paper established operations in Neenah, leveraging the abundant water resources and easy access to shipping routes.
