Green Bay, Port city in Wisconsin, United States
The city sits where the Fox River meets Lake Michigan, forming a natural harbor on the western shore of the lake. Residential neighborhoods spread westward from the waterfront, while the downtown area stretches along the riverbank.
Jean Nicolet established a trading post in this area in 1634, beginning the first European settlement on the bay. The settlement grew rapidly through the 19th century with timber processing and shipping on the river and lake.
Residents gather around Lambeau Field on game days, where football carries an almost religious importance in daily life. Many visitors to local bars and restaurants wear green and gold team colors even on ordinary weekdays.
Visitors can walk between the downtown area and the waterfront easily, and most main streets run parallel to the river. The University of Wisconsin campus lies southwest of the center and is accessible by car or bus.
The region produced so much toilet paper in the first half of the 20th century that it earned this nickname. Today several old factory buildings along the river recall this industrial past.
