Return to Index History & History Related Items Duluth history: Old Duluth Superior Street from Lake Avenue to Fourth Avenue East, is considered to be "Old Duluth." Duluth was born in this district and what is now Canal Park when Daniel Greysolon Sier Du Lhut, in 1679, landed where the Ariel Lift bridge now stands. The history of Europeans in the area actually started in the 1630s with the first voyageurs to visit the area, but he was the first to officially document his explorations. Prior to this Duluth was the land of the Sioux. In the 1600s and 1700s they were pushed to the plains by the Ojibwas who had been moved west by European encroachment on the East coast and continuous war with the Algonquin nation. Source: Excerpt from Duluth History by Sheldon Aubut An old phrase used for Duluth came about when Dr. Thomas Preston Foster, a local newspaperman, gave a speech in 1868 on the Fourth of July. He called Duluth, the Zenith City of the Unsalted Seas. Before this time, Duluth had experienced great growth. The canal at Sault Ste. Marie had opened in 1855 and railroads were coming into the area. The lumber and mining industries, coupled with the expansion of the railroad could hardly keep up with the demand for their services. By 1870, Duluth had become the fastest growing city in the country. Duluth was picked by Jay Cooke, a land speculator, for even more railroad expansion. Unfortunately, the stock market crash of 1873 ruined Jay Cooke’s business and nearly ruined the city. However, by the turn of the century, lumber and mining began to upswing and the population grew to almost 100,000. Duluth had come back to prosperity.
