The
Fox River is a river in eastern and central
Wisconsin in the
United States. Along the banks is a chain of cities and villages, including
Oshkosh,
Neenah,
Menasha,
Appleton,
Little Chute,
Kimberly,
Combined Locks, and
Kaukauna. Except for Oshkosh, located on the Upper Fox River near Lake Winnebago, these cities and villages identify as the
Fox Cities. Further north along the Lower Fox River, from its outlet from Lake Winnebago and before its mouth at Lake Michigan, are the cities of
De Pere and
Green Bay (located at the lake), and the villages of
Ashwaubenon and
Allouez; although they are in the Fox River Valley, this grouping of cities and villages does not refer to themselves as Fox Cities.
