Little Chute, Wisconsin

Nestled in the heart of the Fox River Valley, just east of Appleton, the Village of Little Chute combines a pleasant small-town, semi-rural atmosphere with all the amenities of a larger metropolitan area. The Village is blessed with an abundance of natural resources – including the historic Fox River on its southern border. While larger cities are just a short drive away, the Village of Little Chute offers a better overall quality of life and is truly on the river and on the way.

The Fox River forms a wonderfully scenic backdrop for Little Chute and has played a key role in the Village’s development. La Petite Chute, French for Little Falls, is the original name for the area of rapids in the Fox River where Little Chute is today. In 1832, Fr. Theodore van den Broek, a catholic priest from North Brabant, Holland, was sent to Wisconsin as a missionary. He established St. John Nepomucene Parish near the rapids of Little Chute in 1836. In 1898, residents of La Petit Chute petitioned for incorporation as the Village of Little Chute, which was formally granted on March 8, 1899.
