Northport, WI

Northport is an unincorporated CDP in the Town of Mukwa, Waupaca County, about two miles northwest of New London along Wisconsin Highway 54. The highway is the clearest local line, carrying traffic through a mix of homes, small businesses, wooded edges, and farm country. The community sits in the Fox Valley’s rural transition zone, close enough to New London for daily services while keeping its own roadside character. The CDP shares the highway with farm drives, mail routes, and traffic headed for the Wolf River country.

Northport’s place is tied to the town around it: Mukwa handles municipal government, Waupaca County provides wider services, and Highway 54 links the settlement toward New London and the Fox Cities. The surrounding roads lead through low fields, wetlands, and small woodlots, the kind of landscape that makes a CDP feel like a named crossroads without a separate municipal government. Northport is a compact Wisconsin community whose name marks a specific piece of the highway-and-farm network.
