Ironwood, MI | A 4K City Walking Tour

Ironwood is a city in Gogebic County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is the westernmost city in Michigan. Ironwood is home of the "World's Tallest Indian," a 52 ft fiberglass statue of tribal leader Hiawatha. Ironwood was settled in the spring of 1885. The town was incorporated as a village in 1887 and as a city on April 8, 1889. Ironwood is located within the now inactive Gogebic Iron Range. Iron ore was found in the area in the 1870s. The arrival of the railroad in the mid-1880s gave an impetus to more extensive development of the area's ore deposits. Several mines, such as the Norrie, Aurora, Ashland, Newport, and Pabst, were opened in Ironwood.
