History
Beginning in 1912, vocational schools were formed in six locations (Appleton, Brillion, Kaukauna, Menasha, Neenah, and Oshkosh) in the district today. In 1967, the Wisconsin Legislature divided the country into sixteen districts, leading to the establishment of the Fox Valley Technical Institute (FVTI). In 1987, the college (along with all state technical colleges) was renamed and became known as Fox Valley Technical College.
