Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge Live Cam

Duluth is a city located in northeastern Minnesota, United States, on the western tip of Lake Superior. The area that is now Duluth was originally inhabited by the Ojibwe and Dakota Native American tribes, who traded furs with European explorers in the 17th century.

In 1856, Duluth was founded as a port town, and quickly grew as a center for shipping and industry. The city played a significant role in the lumber industry in the late 19th century, with logs floated down the St. Louis River from the forests of northern Minnesota.

During the early 20th century, Duluth was a major hub for transportation and manufacturing, with industries ranging from steel production to shipbuilding. However, the Great Depression hit the city hard, and it struggled economically for many years.
