Mariners Pointe Near Green Bay, Wisconsin The City of Green Bay, Wisconsin is the county seat of Brown County. The city is located at the head of its namesake Green Bay, a sub-basin of Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Fox River. The city is located 112 miles north of Milwaukee and the Town of Green Bay is located several miles northeast of the city. According to the 2006 census estimate, Green Bay has a population of 100,353.
A small trading post was established at this location in 1634 by French-Canadian explorer Jean Nicolet, making Green Bay the 13th oldest permanent settlement in America. In 1671 a Jesuit Mission was set up on the Green Bay which, at the time, was known as La Baye or la Baie des Puants. A fort was added in 1717. The town was incorporated in 1754, and was passed to British control in 1761. As British settlers in the area came to outnumber the French, the name "Green Bay" became the more common name for the town. In 1783, following the end of the Revolutionary War, the town became part of the United States of America.
The United States Army built Fort Howard on the banks of the Fox River in 1816. Wisconsin's first newspaper, The Green Bay Intelligencer, published its first edition in 1833. By 1850 the town had a population of 1,923. Four years later, the town was re-incorporated as the City of Green Bay, merging several small towns including Navarino, Fort Howard and Astor (created by industrialist and Titanic victim John Jacob Astor). The Green Bay Area Public School District was founded in 1856. The railroad arrived in the 1860s. In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt came to Green Bay to honor its tricentennial. By 1950 the city had a population of 52,735.
Today, Green Bay is the third largest city in Wisconsin. It is set at the southern end of the Green Bay and is divided by the Fox River. Green Bay is an industrial city with several meatpacking and paper plants. The metro area forms a homogeneous city, combining several different townships with the City of Green Bay, including the villages of Bellevue, Ashwaubenon, Allouez and Howard. Metro Green Bay is home to the National Railroad Museum, the Neville Public Museum with exhibitions of art, history, and science, and to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
The Green Bay Packers professional football team, founded by the legendary Hall-of-Famer Curly Lambeau and one of the earliest NFL franchises, has been based in the city since 1919. Green Bay is, by far, the smallest US market for a team of the four major professional sports leagues, although the Packers' fan base stretches not only across the state of Wisconsin but around the globe. Green Bay is nicknamed "Titletown, USA" for the 12 NFL titles it has won over the years, including the first two Super Bowls as well as Super Bowl XXXI.
Downtown Green Bay is the heart of the city. There are several mid-rise office buildings and churches downtown. The Brown County Court House is located in the heart of downtown. The riverfront has seen a great amount of re-development with several new loft projects. A 17 story condominium project is planned for the riverfront. The downtown has experienced new streetscaping. Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, is located in Ashwaubenon, but was annexed into Green Bay after the stadium was built.
