Marinette sits on the Menominee River directly across from Menominee, Michigan, on the Upper Peninsula border. The city was named after Marinette Chevalier, a half-Menominee woman who operated a fur trading post near the river mouth in the early 19th century. Pine logging on the rivers draining into Green Bay made the city one of the largest lumber producers in the world during the 1880s, with sawmills lining both banks of the Menominee River.
After the pine was cut, Marinette transitioned to shipbuilding. Fincantieri Marinette Marine, the successor to the original Marinette Marine Corporation founded in 1942, continues to build naval vessels including Freedom-class littoral combat ships and the new Constellation-class frigates for the U.S. Navy. The shipyard is the largest employer in the city and shapes the waterfront industrial landscape.
The Menominee River forms the state line with Michigan and has a series of hydroelectric dams upstream from Marinette. The Menominee and Peshtigo Rivers drain the Wisconsin side, and the 1871 Peshtigo Fire, which killed more than 1,200 people in a single night, burned much of the forested country surrounding Marinette. It remains the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history. The city's population is about 10,400.
