Two Rivers is a city in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 12,639 at the 2000 census. The city is located mostly within the Town of Two Rivers. A small portion extends west into the adjacent Town of Manitowoc. It is best known for being the birthplace of the ice cream sundae (though other cities, such as Ithaca, New York, make the same claim). The city's unofficial slogan is "Catch our friendly waves."
