Green Bay, WI
Green Bay was named for the green-tinted streaks that stripe its bay in springtime. It is the seat of Wisconsin's Brown County and the center of a metropolitan statistical area that includes the entire county. The city of Green Bay began as a French fur-trading post and mission that was important to the exploration of the Upper Midwest in the early seventeenth century. Since the nineteenth century the local economy has been based on the lumbering, meat packing, and paper making industries, with a currently expanding service sector.
