Sturgeon Bay is a city in and the county seat of Door County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 9,144 at the 2010 census. The city is well-known regionally for being the center of the Door Peninsula, the namesake of the county.
The area was originally inhabited by the Ho-Chunk and Menominee. The town is known in the Menominee language as Namaew-Wihkit, or "bay of the sturgeon". The Menominee ceded this territory to the United States in the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars following years of negotiations with the Ho-Chunk and the U.S. government over how to accommodate the incoming populations of Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee, and Brothertown peoples who had been removed from New York.
