Superior

Port and city in Wisconsin, USA, at the western end of Lake Superior on the St Louis and Nemadji rivers; population (1997) 27,500. Together with Duluth, Minnesota, which lies to the south across the St Louis Bay, it forms the US head of navigation on the St Lawrence Seaway, and is the shipping point for western produce reaching the lakes. Superior is one of the largest coal and grain-shipping ports in the world. It also contains the world's largest iron ore dock. Industries include the manufacture of wood products, flour, canned foods, and refined oil. The city was founded as a trading post in 1853.

It is the home of a Wisconsin State University campus, founded in 1893.

Flatland by Abbott, Edwin View in context
It is also from natural causes that some beings command and others obey, that each may obtain their mutual safety; for a being who is endowed with a mind capable of reflection and forethought is by nature the superior and governor, whereas he whose excellence is merely corporeal is formect to be a slave; whence it follows that the different state of master [1252b] and slave is equally advantageous to both.
