Introduction to Marinette, Wisconsin

Marinette History
A small Algonquin tribe first settled in the area now known as Marinette. In the 1800s, it became a French fur trading post. On account of its location next to Green Bay and along the Menominee River, it experienced a ‘lumber boom.’ It is said that the community was named after the wife of an early fur trader, Marie Antoinette Chevalier, a French woman who ran a trading post close to the mouth of the Menominee River. The community was officially incorporated in 1887 and became Wisconsin’s tenth largest city by 1900.
