Oneida’s history is
mostly unwritten
The public archives hold only 4 old photos of Oneida. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.
The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusOneida is an unincorporated community and former census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Oneida, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 1,070 at the 2000 census. At that time, part of the CDP lay within the Town of Hobart, which has since incorporated as a village, in adjacent Brown County. Oneida is located on Wisconsin Highway 54. The community lies near the center of the reservation of the federally recognized Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, for which it is named.
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 4,678 to 4,579 (-2%). Half of its homes were built before 1982.
