Welcome to Omro, Wisconsin!
 Omro, Wisconsin, is a city in Winnebago County in the mid-eastern portion of the state, in the Oshkosh-Neenah metro area.. The population was 3,177 at the 2000 census. The city is located within the Town of Omro. The Fox River flows through the city.Built along the banks of the beautiful Fox River, Omro offers visitors and residents alike the perfect combination of business and residential amenities. The street names of the town are historic Indian names.
The site of the present day City of Omro was Winnebago Indian territory when it was first visited by French explorers in 1639. Eventually, a fur-trading post was begun here, one early resident being Charles Omereau, a French trader and blacksmith who gave his anglicized name to the future city. The first modern settler came here in 1847. Omro's location on the Fox River gave it two early advantages: a position on one of the few natural transportation and communications routes of the time, and abundant water for industrial use. By 1880, Omro was a stop on the railroad line and was home to the county fairgrounds, several mills, a glass factory, carriage factories, several machine works, and had more than 2,000 inhabitants. Eventually though, most of the manufacturing activities in Omro either relocated to nearby Oshkosh or faded away. By the turn of the century, Omro had become a quiet trading center for the surrounding countryside.
Omro started a revitalization process in 1986, and the city has seen renewed growth ever since. Through projects such as the historic walking tour and the designation of a historic downtown district, Omro is paying homage to its past even as it builds for the future.
Today, Omro retains a small-town feel, but presents a big-city attitude. Located eight miles west of Oshkosh along the Highway 21 Corridor, Omro is the gateway to recreation and relaxation throughout the state. The city's central location and close proximity to Lake Winnebago and larger urban centers, such as Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, and Appleton, allow residents and visitors a wealth of shopping and entertainment opportunities.
