Menasha and the Fox River Paper Industry
Menasha sits at the outlet of Lake Winnebago, where the Fox River begins its flow north toward Green Bay. With Neenah directly across the river, the two cities formed the historic Neenah-Menasha twin cities at the center of the Fox Valley paper industry. Paper mills operated continuously on Doty Island and along the river for over 150 years, producing everything from newsprint to specialty papers. Menasha Corporation, founded in the city in 1849 as a wooden pail manufacturer, grew into a packaging and logistics company that remains headquartered in nearby Neenah.
The population is roughly 18,500 and crosses into three counties: most of the city sits in Winnebago County, but portions extend into Calumet and Outagamie counties. Doty Island is shared between Menasha and Neenah and was historically home to the Menominee people before European settlement. The Fox River lock and dam system, part of the federal Fox River Navigational System operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for commercial shipping through the 1950s, includes a lock at Menasha.
Barlow Planetarium at the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley campus hosts public astronomy programs. The Weis Earth Science Museum on the same campus contains one of the larger mineral collections in the Midwest. The Marina District along the lake has been redeveloped since the 1990s with waterfront housing and restaurants replacing decommissioned industrial sites.
