In this video, we walk through Appleton City’s beautifully preserved downtown historic district, learn how the town began in the late 1860s, and trace its growth from a railroad boomtown originally called Arlington into an important agricultural shipping hub known for its apple industry. We’ll dive into the town’s fascinating timeline—from its 1871 renaming after D.S. Appleton to its rise alongside the railroad and evolution into a farming center that still serves the region today. Along the way, we check out historic landmarks like the old library, hospital, railroad area, and more while getting a feel for the community spirit that still makes Appleton City special.
