History:
Coleraine, a city in Iron Range and Trout Lake Townships,
bears the name of a township in western Massachusetts. It was chosen in
honor of Thomas F. Cole, who was prominent in the early development of the
iron mines on the Mesabi Range and president of the Oliver Mining Company
but later removed to Arizona, becoming president of a copper mining company
there. The city was developed in 1904 as an Oliver Mining Company town by
John Campbell Greenway, general superintendent; Oliver Mining Company was
formed in the 1890s and later became part of U.S. Steel Corporation. The
city is located one mile from Bovey and was designed basically as a residential
community; the company-controlled administration screened potential residents.
It incorporated as a village on April 20, 1909, and separated from the township
on October 31, 1921; its post office was established in 1906.

Longyear Park
Longyear Park, along Cole Street. Designed and
developed in 1914 by Conrad B. Wolf, the site was originally a
cedar swamp full of cattails and bulrushes which first served as
the location of an experimental washing plant in the early
1900s. Named after E.J. Longyear, a mining pioneer in test
drilling, the park included a labyrinth of walking paths, a fish
pond, flower gardens and a gazebo built for band concerts along
the lakeshore. On the hill above the park, the painted American
flag was a 1920s project of local elementary students who were
each asked to bring a rock to school to help form the design.
Carved out of the hillside were paved "baby walks" to permit the
easy maneuvering of baby carriages down into the park. The
Coleraine City Band, organized in 1907, still performs weekly
during the summer. Concerts take place at the log gazebo built
in 1991 on the site of the park's 1950s-era bandshell. With its
scenic setting and amphitheater-style seating, the gazebo is
also a popular location for weddings and community activities. |

Mesabi
Trail Located in northern
Minnesota between the cities of Ely and Grand Rapids, the Mesabi
Trail is a premier Minnesota bike trail winding through some of
the state's prettiest regions. When completed, the trail will
traverse 132 miles and connect more than 25 communities. This
superior paved bike trail is well- mapped, well-maintained and
the Mesabi Trail also makes an interesting walking path. In
2008, approximately 97 miles of trail will be complete and offer
convenient accessibility at numerous entry points. The longest
paved section connects Marble to McKinley (approximately 60
miles through the communities of Nashwauk, Keewatin, Hibbing,
Chisholm, Mt. Iron and Virginia to name a few). An additional
section approximately 13 miles in length connects Grand Rapids
to Scenic Hwy 7. Construction will begin on the link between
Scenic Highway 7 and Marble this spring. |
