'''Eveleth''' is a city in [[St. Louis County, Minnesota|St. Louis County]], [[Minnesota]], United States. The population was 3,493 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eveleth, Minnesota |url=https://data.census.gov/all?q=Eveleth%20city,%20Minnesota |access-date=June 1, 2024 |website=Census}}</ref> Eveleth is part of the [[Quad Cities (Minnesota)|Quad Cities]], with [[Virginia, Minnesota|Virginia]], [[Gilbert, Minnesota|Gilbert]], and [[Mountain Iron, Minnesota|Mountain Iron]]. [[U.S. Route 53#Minnesota|U.S. Highway 53]] and [[Minnesota State Highway 37|State Highway 37 (MN 37)]] are two of the main routes that run through the city.

Eveleth was the site of the conflict that resulted in the court case ''[[Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Co.]]'', and the film based on it, ''[[North Country (film)|North Country]]''. The [[United States Hockey Hall of Fame]] is in Eveleth.

==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.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has an area of {{convert|6.45|sqmi|sqkm|2}}; {{convert|6.29|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|0.16|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web|title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=2012-11-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112090031/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |archive-date=January 12, 2012 }}</ref>

==Economy==
Eveleth is on the [[Mesabi Range]], one of sub-regions of Minnesota's [[Iron Range]]. The town's economy has always been tied to the iron ore mining and processing. This activity peaked during World War II and declined through the second half of the 20th century. A demand for iron ore occurred between 2005 and 2007, and local economies experienced a mild improvement due to improved mining productivity, which allowed demand to be met with only a modest increase in staffing.

Within Eveleth's city limits is Thunderbird Mine, where crude iron ore is processed into 5.5 million tons of iron ore [[taconite]] pellets per year. The ore is [[magnetite]]-bearing [[banded iron formation|iron formation]] of the Paleoproterozoic Biwabik Iron Formation, and is crushed at the mine site and shipped by railroad to the Fairlane Plant in [[Forbes, Minnesota]], for concentrating and pelletizing.<ref>[http://epa-sites.findthedata.org/l/331026/United-Taconite-Llc-Fairlane-Plant United Taconite Llc - Fairlane Plant - Forbes, MN - EPA Regulated Facility]</ref>

==Arts and culture==
===Landmarks===
Eveleth once had side-by-side water towers labeled "hot" and "cold".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ohiobarns.com/othersites/watertowers/mn/23-69hotcold.html|title=Hot and Cold Water Towers|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060517100214/https://www.ohiobarns.com/othersites/watertowers/mn/23-69hotcold.html|archive-date=May 17, 2006|website=Ohio Barns}}</ref>

===In popular culture===
The feature films ''[[Wildrose (film)|Wildrose]]'' (1984) and ''[[North Country (film)|North Country]]'' (2005) were both shot in Eveleth.

===Hockey===
[[File:Worlds Second Largest Hockey Stick.jpg|thumb|World's largest authentic hockey stick in Eveleth]]
[[File:Eveleth Rangers 1920–1921.jpg|thumb|Eveleth's [[United States Amateur Hockey Association|USAHA]] team in 1920–21, [[Ching Johnson|Ivan "Ching" Johnson]] seated second from right in the front row.]]

The [[United States Hockey Hall of Fame]] (not to be confused with the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]], in [[Toronto]]) is in Eveleth. The city has long been noted as a powerhouse of [[ice hockey|hockey]] talent. It has won several state championships, most recently in 1998. During the 1950s the Eveleth Golden Bears dominated high school hockey in Minnesota, garnering a number of state records, including most consecutive state championships (4: 1948–51), most consecutive championship games (5: 1948–52) and most consecutive tournament appearances (12: 1945–56), despite the district's tiny population.

Eveleth has the "world's largest authentic hockey stick", standing at 107 feet and weighing 3 tons. A few blocks away from the stick is the Eveleth Hippodrome, Minnesota's oldest hockey arena still in use. The [[Rock Ridge Public Schools|Rock Ridge Wolverines]] Boys & Girls hockey teams play there as one out of two of their home rinks, the other being the [[Iron Trail Motors Event Center]] in Virginia.

The [[Eveleth Rangers|Eveleth Reds]] played in the [[United States Amateur Hockey Association]] between 1920 and 1925, and in the inaugural season of 1920–21 finished as runner-ups to the [[Cleveland Athletic Club (ice hockey)|Cleveland Indians]] after losing a closely contested four-game series 12 goals to 14 in April 1921.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104575357/ohioans-carry-off-title-on-scoring-basis/|title=Ohioans Carry Off Title On Scoring Basis|newspaper=The Gazette Times|location=Pittsburgh|date=April 8, 1921|page=9|access-date=2022-06-28}}</ref> Eveleth's biggest star player was defenseman [[Ching Johnson|Ivan "Ching" Johnson]], who played three seasons for the club between 1920 and 1923, and was inducted into the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] in 1958.
