Champion, Wisconsin

Champion is an unincorporated community in the town of Green Bay in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States.

[1][2] It is part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The same area was also known as Robinsonville, after Charles D. Robinson, editor of the Green Bay Advocate, an early newspaper started in 1846.

The name Robinsonville was given prominence by Adele Brice’s apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1858.

The suggestion of Champion was from Sister Adele Brise because it was the name of a little village near Namur in Belgium where she had planned to join the convent in sisterhood before her parents immigrated to the United States.
