Duluth
Also known as: Duluth, MN, Duluth, Minnesota
Minnesota's port city (~85,000) at the western tip of Lake Superior — the largest freshwater port in the world by tonnage. Originally Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) territory; the Mesabi-Iron-Range mining era and Lake Superior shipping shaped the city through the 20th century. The directory's Duluth anchor is Whole Foods Co-op (1970), one of the country's senior food cooperatives, with two locations and 170 local-vendor partnerships.
What this is
Duluth sits at the western tip of Lake Superior, where the lake meets the St. Louis River estuary. Originally Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) territory; the city grew through mining (Mesabi Iron Range to the north) and Great Lakes shipping in the 19th and 20th centuries. The contemporary identity is built around the lake, the substantial outdoor-recreation economy, the University of Minnesota Duluth, and a long-running independent natural-foods culture anchored by Whole Foods Co-op.
