Logs for paper mills on the Fox River, 1901-1910.
The paper industry has been an important part of Wisconsin’s economy since the 1870s. Manufacturing paper from wood pulp requires lots of trees, but it also requires lots of water. The natural advantages of the Fox River made the Fox Valley cities of Appleton, Kaukauna, Neenah and Menasha some of the largest paper producers in the Midwest.
