A mill was built on the Wisconsin side of the Menomonee, and lumber was first shipped to market from the bay shore district.

The evidence

• “Arndt, of Green Bay, built a waters power mill on the Pensaukee river at a point where the town of Big Suamico now stands. In 1834, a mill was built on the Wisconsin side of the Menomonee, and, two years later, one at Peshtigo. Lumber was first shipped to market from this district in 1834, which must be termed the beginning of lumbering operations on the bay shore. The lands drained by the strearaa which flow into Green bay are located in Shawano and Oconto counties, the latter being the largest in the state.”
