By now you've spent a great deal of time getting around this small
town of Menasha and now hopefully know more about its history than
you ever did before. Consider this your final exam, you are about
to graduate from Menasha 101.
A lot has changed since this town was incorporated in 1874 and this
cache will give you one last opportunity to get to know the town just a little bit more before you yourself
head for the border.
AB% of the population is divorced, a relatively low number
compared to the nationwide average
In 2004, the local government employed C part-time personal
in their judicial and legal departments
While Menasha has its share of crime, the numbers seem relatively

category E that injured 12 people.

MENASHA: Named after the Indian
word Menashay meaning “settlement on the
island,” along with its sister city Neenah meaning
“clear water” they are collectively also taken
to mean "Laughing Waters" for the sounds that emanated from
the twin falls on either side of the island.
This series will not only introduce you to the
city of Menasha, but also give you some significant historical
knowledge about this town which many drive through just to get from
the north side of the Valley to the south. So, the next time you
pass through town, you might want to take a little time to look
around and appreciate its many unique offerings and
establishments.
A huge thanks to Alderman Taylor for providing even deeper
historical insight and information than I was able to obtain. It is
our hope that after doing the series you will be inclined to stop
for a bit the next time you drive through town and appreciate what
a unique little community it has been and continues to be by
re-inventing itself.
