The City of De Pere deserves to be proud of its long historical past which dates back to 1671, when Jesuit Father Clause Allouez founded the Mission of St. Francis Xavier at the foot of the rapids of the east side of the Fox River. The area became known as “les rapides des peres” or the “rapids of the fathers”, it was later shortened to just “De Pere”. Preserving, fostering and promoting this long heritage is the De Pere Historical Society, started in 1970 by the De Pere Chamber of Commerce.
