Kimberly

Kimberly is a village in Outagamie County on the south bank of the Fox River, situated between Appleton to the west and Little Chute to the east. The village carries a name with national recognition attached to it. John Alfred Kimberly, one of the co-founders of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, lent his name to the community, and the paper industry that Kimberly-Clark helped build along the Fox River shaped the entire region's economic identity for over a century. That history is embedded in the village's character in ways that go beyond a historical marker.

The Fox River runs along Kimberly's northern edge, and the riverfront green space gives residents access to trails and water views that connect to the broader Fox Cities trail network. The village is compact and walkable by Wisconsin small-town standards, with a residential character that has remained stable while the surrounding Fox Cities region has grown around it. Proximity to Appleton puts residents within easy reach of the region's full commercial and employment base.
