24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Howard, WI

Howard is a village on Green Bay's northwest side, lying mostly in Brown County with a small portion extending into Outagamie County, and its eastern edge touches the bay of Green Bay itself.

Before it was Howard, the community was universally known as "Duck Creek," after the winding waterway that runs through the village to the bay.

The Town of Howard was established in 1835 and was named for Brigadier General Benjamin Howard, a War of 1812 officer — the same namesake as nearby Fort Howard.

In the 1800s Howard was known for its four Duck Creek stone quarries, which supplied building stone across the region; the last quarry did not close until 2002.

The town incorporated as the Village of Howard in 1959, adopting the motto "Rising to New Heights."

Howard has grown explosively as a Green Bay suburb, from 3,485 residents in 1960 to 19,950 at the 2020 census, when it counted 8,274 households.

Interstate 43 reaches its northern terminus in Howard, where it meets U.S. Highway 41 and State Highway 29, an interchange that has fueled the village's commercial growth.

Howard is served by the Howard-Suamico School District, which it shares with the neighboring village of Suamico.

The village maintains 21 parks, including Memorial Park, the trailhead of the Mountain Bay Trail, an 83-mile rail trail that runs through three counties in northeastern Wisconsin.

Meadowbrook Park covers 92.25 acres of meadows, wetlands and woods with a lighted sledding hill, and the old Duck Creek quarry has been reborn as Duck Creek Quarry Park, open to the public year-round.
