Duluth, Minnesota, in the late 1800s was a Lake Superior port that grew fast on the back of railroads, lumber, and grain. The Northern Pacific Railway had reached the city by 1870, and its tracks carried timber, flour, and grain down to ships and elevators along the harbor. After iron ore was found on the Mesabi Range in 1890, Duluth became one of the main shipping points for that ore, and its docks grew busy with ore boats. The Panic of 1893 brought layoffs and hard times, and the city's population stayed unsettled for years afterward. Residents of the period knew Duluth as a rough, ambitious harbor town, built on steep hills above the lake.
