Marquette
Wisconsin city name
Marquette is a proper noun with several American referents, most tracing back to Jacques Marquette, the 17th-century French Jesuit missionary who explored the Mississippi River with Louis Jolliet.
Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, bears his name, as does the city of Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The name appears across the Midwest in counties, parks, and streets, reflecting the region's French colonial history and Catholic heritage.
