The team was renamed the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers for the 1995 season after moving from its original home, Goodland Field in Appleton (built in 1940), to the new Fox Cities Stadium in nearby Grand Chute.

The team has been affiliated with the Mariners since 1993. Previous affiliations have been with the Baltimore Orioles (1962-65), the Chicago White Sox (1966-86), and the Kansas City Royals (1987-92).

The franchise's attendance record of 233,797 was set in 1996.
