Neenah hosts a significant steel and paper industry and is the number one producer of manhole covers in America. The Kimberly-Clark Corporation was founded in Neenah and maintains significant operations there, though its headquarters moved to Dallas, Texas in the 1980s following a dispute over taxes between the CEO and the governor of Wisconsin.
Perhaps the most famous resident of Neenah was film director Howard Hawks, whose mother was a Neenah native. Her husband Frank Hawks moved to Neenah from Goshen, Indiana when Howard was an infant. The family resided in Neenah in a house they had built on Wisconsin Avenue, then Neenah's most prestigious thoroughfare, until Mrs. Hawks' best friend Theda Clark, a Kimberly-Clark heiress, died young (posthumously endowing Neenah's first hospital, Theda Clark Hospital, still in operation today). Mrs. Hawks' grief motivated the family to move full-time to Pasadena, California, where they had previously wintered.
Neenah's Bergstrom-Mahler Museum has a world-renowned collection of glass art, comprising over 3,000 pieces, concentrated in historic and art paperweights and Germanic glasswork.
