What is the history of Green Bay?
Green Bay traces its origin to 1634, one of the earliest dates for any settlement in Wisconsin. The town took root at the head of the bay, where the water reached furthest inland, and it grew as trade moved through that sheltered anchorage. Early families built to last.
The Joel S. Fisk House and the historic Hazelwood survive from the town that rose along the bay as trade and lumber carried it forward. Faith arrived with the settlers. The St. Mary of the Angels Church and Monastery marks the religious life that spread through Brown County as the town grew.
The twentieth century made the city famous. Football fixed Green Bay in the national memory, and the Packers Heritage Trail now walks visitors through that story, while the Neville Public Museum of Brown County holds the deeper record. The bay still defines the place.
Kept as the reason the town exists, the water carries the story of Green Bay from its earliest years to the modern city on its shore.

Green Bay sits at the head of its namesake bay in Wisconsin. The land is low and level where the water pushes furthest inland, and the city fills the flat ground on either side of the river mouth. The bay dominates the setting.
Bay Beach Amusement Park lines the shore, and the streets of Brown County spread back from the water across the gentle rise beyond.
What is the climate of Green Bay?

The bay moderates the shore a little, and the rides at Bay Beach Amusement Park run in the brief warm season before the water and the streets ice over again.
