In an April 2016 referendum, the portion of the town west of Little Lake Butte des Morts voted to become the village of Fox Crossing.

[5] Discussion of the Town of Menasha being incorporated into a village began as early as 1979, when the name Bridgeview was proposed.

[5] In December 2014, a petition was circulated to incorporate the west side of the town as the Village of Fox Crossing.

[6][7] It needed 50 signatures to file the petition in Winnebago County court; it had received over 200 by March 2015.

[2] Town leaders estimate that it would cost $85000 to incorporate and possibly $75000 in legal fees to defend against challenges.

[2] Incorporation of Fox Crossing as a village, comprising the land west of Little Lake Butte des Morts became final on April 20, 2016.

When completed, this would effectively end the existence of the Town of Menasha, on a timeline "on or as soon after the (agreement) as practical".

[10] The town was located in the northeast corner of Winnebago County and partially surrounds the city of Menasha.
