The postcard below shows a steam engine from the Chicago & North Western Railroad crossing over the swing bridge over the Fox River. The bridge connected Allouez to the westside of Green Bay. The postcard was made for the Jorgensen-Blesch company, a major dry goods company in Green Bay from 1888 to the early 1930s.

Allouez has a long history, with its roots dating back to 1669 when French Jesuit Father Claude - Jean Allouez first explored and set up a presence here.

In 1856 the broader town of Bellevue was established, covering the land east of the Fox River.

In 1874 the area of modern Allouez separated from Bellevue.

In 1900, Allouez was incorporated into the Village of Allouez.

Below is an 1889 map of Allouez & Bellevue townships.

With the start of baseball season, let’s take a look at the history of baseball in Wisconsin. Allouez had its own team that played against a number of other teams in the area and was reportedly active from 1895 until 1960. The first organized baseball in the state was in Milwaukee in 1859. Milwaukee was also home to the minor league Milwaukee Brewers from 1902-1952. The Milwaukee Braves from 1953-1965 and the Milwaukee Brewers, starting in 1970.
