Appleton is at the hub of the Fox Cities and its largest community. Appleton has been ranked as one of the best cities to live in the United States by Money Magazine's 2010 review, Appleton is a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. The history of the city mirrors that of Lawrence University as the two grew up simultaneously. Lawrence University was chartered in 1847 and a main benefactor was Samuel Appleton. In appreciation, his name was given to the community. Appleton’s downtown area, bolstered by the new Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, is a center for entertainment, recreation and diverse commercial and professional businesses. Author Edna Ferber and magician Harry Houdini are two of its most noted gifts to the world.
