Editing Eveleth, Minnesota (section)

==History==
The Village of Eveleth was platted on April 22, 1893, originally about {{convert|1|mi|km}} southwest of the present location, on land then included in the Adams-Spruce Mine (Douglas Avenue between Jones and Monroe Streets). The community was named after Erwin Eveleth, a prominent employee of a timber company in the area. In 1895, iron ore was discovered beneath the village site and a post office was established. In 1900, the village moved to its present location. It was incorporated as a city in 1902.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Van Brunt|first1=Walter|title=Duluth and St. Louis County|url=https://archive.org/details/duluthstlouiscou03vanb|date=1922|publisher=American Historical Society|location=Chicago}}</ref> When the city expanded, it annexed portions of [[Fayal Township, St. Louis County, Minnesota|Fayal Township]], including the former unincorporated communities of Alice Mine Station (in the Alice Location south of downtown) and Fayal. With further expansion, Eveleth annexed the unincorporated community of Genoa to its east. Eveleth first established its post office on February 9, 1895, with P. Ellard Dowling as commander-in-chief. Eveleth also had its first paper, ''The Eveleth Star'', the same year.
