| Full of history, Oconto
is a city located along the west shore of the waters of Green Bay.
Beginning in the 1850's, lumbering was the primary focus
of the city's economy, when logs were floated down the Oconto River, sewed
and then shipped out by boat to large growing cities on Lake Michigan.
The Bayshore of Oconto area offers visible history lessons.
The city of Oconto has thirty-three structures on the National Register
of Historic Places, and the rural areas contain many late nineteenth and
early twentieth century farm buildings.
Oconto is a beautiful city to visit. A visitor can take
a self-guided tour of the city, walk the Historic West Main Street District,
and in the summer tour the 1890's home of wealthy George Beyer located
on Park Avenue.
