Business District

The heart of any city is its business district. In Hibbing, this was on Pine Street and also on Third Avenue.

Many varieties of shops were available to satisfy the community's needs.

People came from the many small locations and other communities to shop in Hibbing.

Like any pioneer mining town, the men gathered in the saloons to socialize. Hibbing had 60 saloons, many of which were patronized by each ethnic nationality.

These are some scenes of the business district.
