Algoma      
Population: 3059

Algoma is a city in Kewaunee County.


Trivia:

The settlement Ahnapee which eventually became known as Algoma was founded in 1834 by Joseph McCormick of Manitowoc. In 1851, Irish and English pioneers moved to the area and called the place Wolf River. This was a loose translation from the Indian word An-Ne-Pe, meaning "land of the great gray wolf." The wolf was a legendary animal in stories told by the local Potawatomi Indians.
In the Menominee language, the town is known as Akem, meaning "snowshoe".
