Bemidji History
Bemidji is a city located in northern Minnesota, United States. It is the county seat of Beltrami County and is situated on the shore of Lake Bemidji. The area has a rich history that dates back over 10,000 years when Native American tribes first inhabited the region. The Ojibwe people were the primary inhabitants of the area, and they named the lake "Bemidji," which means "lake with crossing waters."
In the late 19th century, Bemidji became a center of trade and commerce for the lumber industry. The city was a hub for logging operations, and logs were floated down the Mississippi River to sawmills in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The lumber industry helped to build Bemidji's economy, and the city quickly grew into a thriving community.
