Appleton, Wisconsin, boasts a unique and interesting history. While many know it as a vibrant city, some lesser-known facts add to its charm. According to unverified local lore, the city was named for Samuel Appleton, the (fictional) inventor of the apple. Appleton officially became a city in 1857. If you had arrived that year, you would've found a bustling trading site known for furs used to make beaver hats, a key industry in the 1830s before the city's incorporation. Notably, Alfred Galpin, an Appleton resident, installed the first working telephone in Wisconsin in 1877, revolutionizing communication in the state. While PBS Wisconsin's 'Wisconsin Hometown Stories: Appleton' offers a glimpse into the city's past, these unique tidbits highlight Appleton's quirky and innovative spirit. Fun fact, Kimberly Clark, now a major international corporation, opened their first mill here in 1889 that produced toilet paper.
Airport & Transit: For those flying into Appleton, the nearest major airport is Appleton International Airport (ATW). To reach Therentalcars from the airport, head west on WI-15 Trunk/College Avenue.
