About the Oshkosh, Wisconsin Area 

Oshkosh is a city in Winnebago County, Wisconsin, where the Fox River enters Lake Winnebago. It is a community of about 66,000 located 90 miles north of Milwaukee and 50 miles south of Green Bay.  

Named for the Menominee Chief Oshkosh, initial development of the city was spurred by growth of the lumber industry in the area. Oshkosh was incorporated as a city in 1853, although it had already been designated the county seat, and had a population of nearly 2,800. 

Oshkosh is served by US Highways 41 and 45 and State Highways 21, 44, and 76, Wittman Regional Airport, the Outagamie County Regional Airport (20 miles), and General Mitchell International Airport (80 Miles).
Oshkosh has an excellent school system, outstanding health care facilities, abundant entertainment opportunities, a low cost of living, a clean environment, and much more. Its parks, galleries, nationally accredited museums, golf courses, entertainment venues, festivals, and activities prove its image as “Event City.”
