Woodland Indian tribes, French voyagers, fur trappers, Jesuit missionaries - at one time or another in the 17th century, these brave travelers came down the historic water highway called the Fox River. A natural stopping place for them was where the Fox emptied into the bay. This stopping place became Wisconsin's first settlement - the area that is now the City of Green Bay. Europeans were in the Green Bay Area in 1634, just 14 years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.

Green Bay's history as an inhabited region began long before the French claimed it. Archaeological findings establish the region as a seat of primitively sophisticated cultures many centuries before the white man's arrival.
No extended stays were made at La Baye Verte until Pere Claude Allouez established St. Francis Xavier Mission at Rapides Des Peres in 1671. A priceless relic of the era is an ostensorium given to the mission by trader Nicolas Perrrot who represented the French at La Baye until 1689. Exhausted by Indian and European wars, the French made no attempt to populate the area before they were driven out by the English in 1763. Charles de Langlade, called the "Father of Wisconsin," was a half-French Ottawa war chief who is credited with planning the ambush of British General Braddock and George Washington in that war. de Langlade and his family became the first permanent settlers in Wisconsin when they moved to Green Bay in 1765. The Grignons, Porliers and Lawes who followed brought Canadian-French culture with them. Colorful "jack-knife Judge" Reaume dispensed British justice in the territory.

In spite of American independence, Green Bay remained a British stronghold until after the war of 1812. Doty, Whitney, Arndt, Baird and Martin were among the American settlers who pushed French culture into the background following the American establishment of Fort Howard in 1816.

By the time of Wisconsin statehood in 1848, fur trading had given way to lumbering. For a short time in the 1860's and 70's, iron smelting in charcoal kilns rivaled the timber industry while the port handled increasing amounts of fuel, feed, and lumber. Today's major local industry had its start in 1895 when the first paper mill was built.The borough of Green Bay was formed in 1838 and is the nucleus of the City of today. The borough of Fort Howard was formed in 1856 and it preceded the City of Fort Howard which consolidated on April 16,1895 with the City of Green Bay to form one city - the City of Green Bay. As the borough of Green Bay, the acreage consisted of 1,149 acres. The City today has 29,489.64 acres within its borders.
