Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Eveleth, MN

Eveleth is a city in St. Louis County on the Mesabi Iron Range and one of the Iron Range's Quad Cities, along with Virginia, Gilbert, and Mountain Iron.

Eveleth bills itself as "The Capital of American Hockey" and is home to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, which was established in Eveleth in 1973.

Eveleth displays the world's largest authentic hockey stick — 107 feet long and weighing three tons.

A few blocks from the giant stick stands the Eveleth Hippodrome, the oldest hockey arena in Minnesota still in use.

Eveleth was platted on April 22, 1893, and named after Erwin Eveleth, a prominent timber company employee; when iron ore was discovered beneath the village site in 1895, the town picked up and moved about a mile to its present location in 1900, incorporating as a city in 1902.

Eveleth had a population of 3,493 at the 2020 census — well down from its mining-boom peak of 7,484 in 1930 — living in 1,618 households.

The Thunderbird Mine inside Eveleth's city limits digs crude iron ore that is processed into about 5.5 million tons of taconite pellets per year.

Eveleth was the site of Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Co., filed in 1988 — the first sexual-harassment class-action lawsuit in United States history, later dramatized in the film North Country.

U.S. Highway 53 and Minnesota State Highway 37 are the two main routes through Eveleth.

Finnish ancestry was Eveleth's largest single heritage group at the 2000 census at 16.6 percent, followed by German and Norwegian at 14.1 percent each.
