Rev. Henry Colman and Rev. William Sampson chose the bluff on the river for the site of the institute. Amos A. Lawrence donated $10,000, and the building began in July 1848. The city was made up of three villages: Martin (Grand Chute), Appleton, and Lawesburg. In 1857, the villages joined together to form the city of Appleton with Amos Story as its first mayor. Appleton's industry grew on the banks of the Fox River.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Appleton Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467113301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467113304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.99w x 0.32d","brand":"Appleton Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410936131839,"sku":"9781467113304","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_356cacc0-a133-45cf-86d3-e36af9c4222b.jpg?v=1697538328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/appleton-appleton-historical-society-9781467113304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
