The Historical Evolution of Duluth Hillside and Lake Superior

The Duluth Hillside, with its steep inclines and panoramic views of Lake Superior, has long been a defining feature of the city’s landscape. From its indigenous roots to its rise as an industrial powerhouse, the Hillside and its relationship with the lake have shaped not just Duluth’s identity but also its role in regional commerce and geopolitics.
