Fond du Lac, WI

Fond du Lac is a city at the southern end of Lake Winnebago in east-central Wisconsin. Its name means "bottom of the lake," which fits its position at the foot of one of the state's largest inland lakes. The city serves as the county seat of Fond du Lac County and has long functioned as a regional hub for manufacturing, health care, education, and lake-country commerce. Its setting gives it a practical Wisconsin identity: working city, county center, and gateway to fishing, boating, and shoreline recreation.
