City of Green Bay
WELCOME TO GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN!!
Green Bay, the city by the bay, was founded in 1634 by the
French explorer, Jean Nicolet. Today Green Bay is a thriving
Great Lakes seaport linked to international shipping lanes,
rail lines and interstate highways. Our city is one with a
rich heritage and the promise of an even brighter future.
Green Bay's 2015 estimated population was 105,207,
however, Brown County's overall population - including
Howard, DePere, Allouez and Ashwaubenon is 258,718(2015).
The climate here is continental, with four distinct
seasons. Summers are warm and humid and the autumns
are cool; while winter is snowy and relatively cold.
The city and it's people are proud of their professional
football team, the Green Bay Packers. Their home stadium,
Lambeau Field, has a seating capacity of 72,515 (that
number is always increasing as new sky-boxes and more
seats are added yearly) and is sold out for all home
games on a season-ticket basis.
