Chinatown is an unincorporated community in the town of Osceola, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] Chinatown is located on the northeast shore of Long Lake near the Sheboygan County line.[2] Despite its name, there is no Chinatown in this area.
According to tradition, the community was named for the Oriental-appearance of early lakeside houses built on stilts.[3]
