The town was originally received as a trading declare by French explorers who called it “Le Petite Chute” (Little Chute). In the late 19th century, it was fixed by Dutch Catholic immigrants from North Brabant, led initially by the Dominican Missionary Theodore J. van den Broek from Uden. The town became an outpost of Dutch Catholic immigrants in the Midwest. Little Chute is home to a full-scale Dutch-style energetic windmill, which has become a tourist attraction.

While sharing in the archives of northeast Wisconsin, Little Chute has been influenced by two unique factors: the rapids and portages along the Fox River and the coming of Dutch-Catholic settlers in 1848. Prior to and during the forward European settlement, the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway to the Mississippi River system was one of the most heavily traveled routes in the middle of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. Afterward canals and locks were built to circumvent these rapids. The actual construction of these features provided employment to settlers, the Dutch among them, although the canal system never proved to be a good success. In 1836, the Treaty of the Cedars was signed close Little Chute by the Menominee Indians, which ceded to The United States “Four million acres amongst the Fox, Wolf and Menominee Rivers”.
