Grand Chute was one of three villages that developed around Lawrence Institute (now Lawrence University). The villages of Lawesburg, Appleton, and Grand Chute were all nestled along the Fox River, with Appleton in the center, Grand Chute to the west of Appleton, and Lawesburg to the east. The villages of Grand Chute and Lawesburg no longer exist and the area they once occupied has been incorporated into the city of Appleton.
