About De Pere

Located in Brown County, De Pere is a charming city with a population of about 23,000. De Pere is primarily a suburban community of Green Bay. In 1671, a French Jesuit explorer by the name of Pere Claude-Jean Allouez founded the St. Francis Xavier Mission. This establishment was located at the last set of rapids on the Fox River before entering the Bay of Green Bay. This site was called Rapides Des Peres, meaning rapids of the fathers, and became modern day De Pere. The city is home to St. Norbert College which was founded by Norbertine Abbot Pennings in 1898. De Pere is also home to the North Broadway Street Historic District and De Pere Lock and Dam Historic District, all of which are on the National Register of Historic Places.
