Babbitt History
Babbitt is a small city located in St. Louis County, Minnesota, in the United States. It was founded in the early 1900s as a mining town when large deposits of iron ore were discovered in the area. The town was named after Judge E. J. Babbitt, who was instrumental in securing the funding for the local mining operations.
The Babbitt area was initially home to the Ojibwe people, who used the land for hunting, fishing, and gathering wild rice. However, with the arrival of European settlers and the discovery of iron ore, the region was transformed into a major industrial center.
