Hibbing

City in St Louis County, northeastern Minnesota; population (2000) 17,100. Hibbing is situated in the Mesabi Range, 89 km/55 mi northwest of Duluth. It was established as a lumber camp in 1893, but was subsequently found to lie directly over a rich iron-ore deposit, and the entire town was moved 3 km/2 mi south in 1919–21. The Greyhound Bus Line was established here in the 1920s to carry miners between Old and New Hibbing.

The original site of Hibbing became the Hull-Rust Mine, the world's largest opencast iron-ore mine and now a National Historic Landmark. Although the high-grade haematite deposits have been exhausted, the city continues to mine and process iron-rich taconite. Hibbing also manufactures rubber products, automatic doors, radiators, and other products.
