About Us

Rooted in History. Focused on What’s Next.

Oconto, Wisconsin proudly carries the title “History on the Bay,” with 33 sites on the National Register of Historic Places and deep roots that shape who we are today. But Oconto isn’t just a place to look back—it’s a place that’s building forward.

From our downtown storefronts to our waterfront views, Oconto is a community full of energy, pride, and possibility. It’s where small businesses grow, neighbors show up for one another, and new ideas are always welcome.

A Community That Shows Up

Located just 30 minutes from Green Bay and at the gateway to Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Oconto blends small-town charm with everyday convenience.

Here, you’ll find:

  • A thriving business community
  • A strong and supportive school district
  • Outdoor recreation on the Bay of Green Bay
  • Local shops, restaurants, and gathering spaces
  • Events that bring people together year-round

Whether you’re launching a business, raising a family, or visiting for the weekend—Oconto has a way of making you feel like you belong.
