==History==
The town was founded in 1893 by Frank Hibbing,<ref>[http://www.hibbing.mn.us/ City of Hibbing] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017145515/http://www.hibbing.mn.us/ |date=October 17, 2012}}. Hibbing.mn.us. Retrieved on July 12, 2013.</ref> born in [[Walsrode]], Germany, on December 1, 1856, and christened Franz Dietrich von Ahlen. His mother died when he was still in infancy and he took her name, Hibbing, when he sought his fortune in the New World. He first settled in [[Beaver Dam, Wisconsin]], where he worked on a farm and in a shingle mill. Injured in a mill accident, he considered becoming a lawyer, but after deciding he was not familiar enough with the English language to make a legal career possible, he turned to [[Forest inventory|timber cruising]].

In 1887, Hibbing settled in [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]], where he established a real estate business and began exploring the Vermilion Range. In 1892, he headed a party of 30 men at Mountain Iron and cut a road through the wilderness to Section 22, 58–20. An expert iron ore prospector, he soon discovered the surface indication that led him to believe there were extensive ore deposits.

In July 1893, the townsite of Hibbing was laid out and named in honor of him. Feeling personally responsible, he took pride in its development and, by his generous aid, made its progress possible. He used his personal means to provide a water plant, electric light plant, the first roads, hotel, sawmill, and bank building. For the last ten years of his life, Hibbing made his home in Duluth, where many of his business interests were centered. He retained close contact with the community that bore his name until dying of [[appendicitis]] on July 30, 1897, at age 40.

In 1914, [[Carl Wickman]] and Andrew "Bus Andy" Anderson started a bus line between Hibbing and [[Alice, Minnesota]], that eventually became [[Greyhound Lines]], the world's largest bus transportation company. The Greyhound Bus Museum is in Hibbing. Included in the display of Greyhound busses is the famous [[PD-4501 Scenicruiser|Scenicruiser]] General Motors made exclusively for Greyhound.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Greyhound Bus Museum |url=https://greyhoundbusmuseum.org/ |access-date=2024-09-01 |website=Greyhound Bus Museum |language=en}}</ref>

Hibbing Heights was platted in 1908 and annexed by Alice in 1910, when Alice incorporated as a city. Between 1919 and 1921, the Village of Hibbing moved immediately south of Alice and then annexed Alice in 1920. Hibbing remained a village until 1979 when the Town of Stuntz was annexed. An Article of Incorporation was filed in July 1979 with the state and Hibbing became a city from that action in January 1980.

Hibbing is home to the world's largest iron ore mine, which was discovered by [[Leonidas Merritt]]. Hibbing grew rapidly in its early years as huge iron ore mines such as the Mahoning, Hull, Rust, Sellers, and Burt provided the raw material for America's industrial revolution. In fact, the mines encroached on the village from the east, north, and west, and it was determined that some of the ore body actually went under the town, whose population hit 20,000 by 1915.

Negotiations between the Oliver Mining Company and the village finally brought about a plan whereby the entire village would relocate to a site two miles south, near Alice, and the company would develop the downtown buildings with low-interest loans that retailers could pay off over the years. New civic structures such as [[Hibbing High School]], the [[Androy Hotel]], the Village Hall, and the Rood Hospital were also constructed with mining company money. In all, about 200 structures were moved down the First Avenue Highway, as it was called, to the new city. These included a store and a couple of large hotels. Only one structure did not make it: the Sellers Hotel tumbled off some rollers and crashed to the ground, leaving, as one witness said, "an enormous pile of kindling". The move started in 1919 and the first phase was completed in 1921. Known today as "North Hibbing", this area remained a business and residential center until the 1940s, when the mining companies bought the remaining structures. The last house was moved in 1968.<ref>[http://www.minnesotaghosts.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89:hibbing-the-town-that-moved&catid=5:minnesota-history&Itemid=13 Hibbing: The Town That Moved] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110406074236/http://www.minnesotaghosts.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89:hibbing-the-town-that-moved&catid=5:minnesota-history&Itemid=13 |date=April 6, 2011}}, Retrieved March 16, 2011.</ref>
