History & geography

History

The Town of Menasha was organized on April 3, 1855, in part from land formerly belonging to the Town of Neenah. The original land area of the town was reduced over several decades due to annexations by the cities of Menasha and Appleton. After town residents west of Little Lake Butte des Morts approved a referendum to incorporate, the Village was incorporated on April 20, 2016. On August 17, 2016, an agreement was reached between the Village of Fox Crossing and the remaining Town of Menasha to annex all remaining town lands to Fox Crossing. This agreement effectively ended the existence of the Town of Menasha. On September 22, 2016, the remaining parts of the town of Menasha became part of the Village of Fox Crossing. Officials from Fox Crossing reportedly told officials from nearby municipalities that the sole motivation for incorporation was to avoid being annexed by a larger community. A prominent feature of the village's early history was border struggles; Fox Crossing was sued by the town of Clayton and town of Neenah over separate disputes. Clayton sued Fox Crossing in December 2017 over a 72-acre annexation the previous September, and Fox Crossing sued Clayton in 2018 over a wastewater collection settlement with the Department of Natural Resources. Clayton had previously rebuffed attempts by Fox Crossing to annex three more high-value acres of land in exchange for wastewater service. In June 2020, Fox Crossing annexed over a hundred acres of land from the town of Neenah at the site of a future Neenah High School. It was later revealed that Fox Crossing and Neenah had a border agreement in place from 2016 through 2019; the town blamed Fox Crossing for failing to find a long-term border solution.
