History:
Nashwauk was the first mining town in Itasca
County. In 1902, the Mississippi Land Company deeded forty acres, the present
site of the original plat of Nashwauk, to the Nashwauk Realty Company. In
1903 the existence of Nashwauk became legal. The incorporation of the village set off
a building boom. Board sidewalks appeared, and tents that had been used
for temporary dwelling were vacated as miner's houses were completed. Families
continued to arrive; no other town on the iron ranges grew as Nashwauk did.
Its population swelled from 220 in 1902 to 2,080 in 1920. In 1908-09 the Great Northern Railroad was
extended from Nashwauk to connect with Grand Rapids. In 1901 stripping had
begun on an extensive scale at the Hawkins Mine, the village's chief source
of income until its closing in 1962. The Hawkins open pit can be viewed from an
observation stand located at the western end of Nashwauk's main street. Nashwauk is located in the heart of excellent
fishing country, with numerous lakes surrounding the village for swimming
and boating. The community's future, like that of its
neighbor, Keewatin, has brightened considerably with the construction of
taconite mining and processing facilities within ten to fifteen miles of
the village.

People who never saw the mines in their glory during
full operation are amazed when they look out over the Hawkins Mine.
As the sign says, the Hawkins Mine was the first mine in Itasca
County, shipping out 25-million tons of iron ore between 1902 and
1962. Bring your camera for shots like these. |

Recreation:
|
Mesabi Trail
The
Taconite State Trail stretches 165 miles from Grand Rapids to
Ely and intersects with the Arrowhead State Trail just west of
Lake Vermillion. The first 6 miles from Grand Rapids are paved
for biking and in-line skating. The remainder of the natural
surface trail is used primarily for snowmobiling in the winter.
The trail goes through a few areas that have standing water in
the summer, however portions of the trail are suitable for
horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking. The Taconite
Trail winds through forests of birch and aspen intertwined with
pine, leading the visitor by many isolated lakes and streams.
From Grand Rapids heading north, you see the impact of the
taconite and iron mining industry. The northern portion of the
trail terrain is rolling and tree covered as it winds through
state and national forest land. |

Minnesota Soy Candle Company is a mother

candles as a hobby. Our first candles were for April's wedding.
From there we started buying candle-making kits—ten pounds of
wax at a time. We poured in canning jars and each batch we made
was a great session of trial-and-error. Five years and thousands
of pounds of wax later, we are confident in our candles and very
excited to offer them for sale to our current and future
customers through this website. We are an up-and-coming small
business that has been making candles for over five years now.
We are located in Nashwauk, MN and have recently built a gift
shop next to our residence. We have built our business by
selling at home shows and other local shows. At all shows we
have been well received, especially by returning customers who
are excited to see us again and purchase more candles. |
