Hibbing: The Town That Moved for Iron
Hibbing sits on the Mesabi Iron Range in Saint Louis County, roughly 200 miles north of Minneapolis. The city was literally moved two miles south between 1919 and 1921 when the Hull-Rust-Mahoning Mine expanded beneath the original town site. The open-pit mine, still partially active, is the largest open-pit iron mine in the world.
Bob Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth but grew up in Hibbing, attending Hibbing High School. The school building, constructed in 1920, is an elaborate structure built with mining-era wealth and features a 1,800-seat auditorium with a chandelier imported from Belgium.
The Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing marks the birthplace of the Greyhound bus line, which started as a jitney service carrying miners between Hibbing and Alice in 1914. The city's population has declined from its peak of over 17,000 to about 16,200 as mining employment has contracted.
Hibbing's economy still depends on taconite mining and the companies that service the mines. Carey Lake and Bennett Park provide recreation within the city. The harsh winters and geographic isolation define daily life on the Range.
The Hull-Rust-Mahoning Mine overlook allows visitors to see the vast scale of the open pit, which stretches over three miles long and more than a mile wide. Tour buses operate during summer months.
