Welcome to the City of Eveleth

Welcome to the City of Eveleth, Gateway to the ! We look forward to having you as part of our community. Moving to a new city is an exciting, busy, and sometimes stressful experience. We want to make your adjustment as smooth as possible. As you begin to explore the city, we believe you will discover why many have proudly called Eveleth home for 117 years. You will find our community to be friendly, a safe place to live, work, and raise a family, with many amenities to offer.

In 1892, with the discovery of iron ore in the region, a town was platted about a mile southwest of the present location. The community was incorporated as a city in 1902 when it became a city of the fourth class operating under a home rule charter. The City of Eveleth from past to present is rich in mining and timber. In addition to the City of Eveleth being known for the World’s Largest “Free Standing” Hockey Stick, it is also home to the Museum. We take pride in our hockey heritage as it is part of what unifies our community. The Hippodrome, Eveleth’s hockey rink, was built in 1922, and still to this day is alive with activity. The city is the home of many hockey legends like John Mayasich, , , , Mark Pavelich, , , Sam LoPresti, Cliff Thompson, Oscar Almquist, and John “Connie” Pleban. This is why Eveleth is known as the Hockey Capital of the United States.

The Eveleth Municipal Golf Course on St. Mary’s Lake, with its lush green scenery, offers beginners and seasoned golfers alike a challenging place to “drop” a few strokes off their score. The Eveleth Veteran’s Park on Ely Lake offers various activities such as camping, fishing, boating and building rental for events.

Eveleth has a leash law, along with an annual requirement for all cats and dogs over (6) six months to be licensed. You must provide a current rabies vaccination certificate. A license can be purchased for a nominal fee at the City Hall. City Hall is located at 413 Pierce Street and is open Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm.

We are pleased you joined our community. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact City Hall at (218) 744-7444. Thank you for choosing to be part of our history.
