Appleton, Wisconsin, was named after Nathan Appleton, a prominent Boston businessman and one of the investors in the Fox River Company, which established the area in the 1840s. The city was initially called "Appleton" in honor of him, recognizing his contributions to the region's development. The name was officially adopted when the village was incorporated in 1857.
