Silver Bay Summary

Bay History

Silver Bay is a city located in Lake County, Minnesota, United States. It is located on the north shore of Lake Superior, about 25 miles northeast of Duluth. The city was founded in 1883 by the Silver Bay Land Company, which was formed to develop the area for iron ore mining. The city was named after the bay on which it is located, which was named for the silver-colored sandstone found in the area.
The first settlers in the area were the Ojibwe people, who had lived in the area for centuries before the arrival of Europeans. The first Europeans to explore the area were French fur traders, who arrived in the late 1600s. The first permanent settlement in the area was established in 1854 by a group of Finnish settlers.
The area was first explored for iron ore in the late 1800s, and the first mine was opened in 1884. The mine was operated by the Silver Bay Iron Company, which was formed by the Silver Bay Land Company. The mine was a success, and the city of Silver Bay was incorporated in 1887.
The city grew rapidly in the late 1800s and early 1900s, as the iron ore industry flourished. The city was home to several large iron ore mines, as well as a number of smaller mines. The city also had a number of other industries, including logging, fishing, and tourism.
The iron ore industry declined in the mid-1900s, and the city’s population began to decline as well. The last iron ore mine in the area closed in the 1970s, and the city’s population has continued to decline since then.
