Combined Locks is one of the smaller communities in the Fox Valley.  This quiet village has a population of roughly 3,500, but is continually growing.  The more relaxed living environment of Combined Locks makes this area appealing to many people. Check out this community profile on Combined Locks and learn more about this great community:

Location

Combined Locks has a perfect location for those who are looking for somewhere quiet, but still close to common city amenities. The community is located within minutes of Highways 441 and 41, making it extremely convenient for commuting.  Many stores and shops are also only a short drive away.

Economy

One of the biggest companies within village limits is Appleton Coated L.L.C Division, which is the paper mill located on Prospect St. in Combined Locks. The mill provides many in the community with employment, but because Combined Locks is in such close proximity with neighboring cities there are many other sources of employment for those in the community.

 

Education

Combined Locks lies between two school districts; Kimberly Area School District and Kaukauna Area School District. The Kimberly Area School District is made up of seven schools, three of which are located right in the village of Kimberly. These three schools are Westside Elementary, Mapleview Intermediate, and JR Gerritts Middle School. Other schools in the area include CORE Charter School and Appleton Christian School.
