Ironton, MN
Ironton was platted in 1910 by John H. Hill and E. A. Lamb. The town lies adjacent to the Armour No.1 and Armour No. 2 mines. Construction of the town was derailed for a time, when ore was discovered under part of the original platted area. Buildings had to be moved at the expense of the mining company holding the lease. But the town eventually settled into the the layout seen today.
Ironton is a small town with old fashioned friendliness and progressive ideas. The new industrial area on the west side of town is awaiting your company's relocation here! Ironton is the home of Minnesota's newest lakes. Rainbow and brook trout are stocked in some of the areas 14 reclaimed mine pits. The trout are not alone. Sunfish, crappie, bass (large and smallmouth), and big northerns also flourish in the rich, clean environment.
If fishing isn't for you, try snorkeling, SCUBA diving, hiking, kayaking or canoeing your way over and under Cuyuna Country. A new trail is planned for building in the spring of 2005. The winter of 2004 will open the snowmobile trail through the Cuyuna Country Recreation Area. |
