GRAND RAPIDS

Grand Rapids is a city in Itasca County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 7,764 at the 2000 census. The city of Grand Rapids is named for the local rapids in the Mississippi river, which was the uppermost limit of practical steamboat travel during the late 1800s. Today, those rapids are hidden underneath the dam of the Blandin Paper Mill.

Historically, the local economy was based on timber harvesting, and to this day, Blandin Paper Mill, now owned by the Finnish based UPM paper company, has its papermaking facilities in downtown Grand Rapids, while Ainsworth (formerly Potlach) located just outside of the city limits, produces oriented strand board. The Mesabi or Iron Range region of Minnesota begins with iron mines north and northeast of the city. Grand Rapids itself was never considered to be part of the Iron Range since its historic economy was based on paper manufacturing and other wood products. Its current economy also has a large tourist footing, with many local resorts, golf courses, and excellent regional hunting and fishing. It also is the service center for a large seasonal and weekend population with summer residences on surrounding lakes.

The city of Grand Rapids sits on the junction of U.S. Highway 2 and U.S. Highway 169. Highway 2 runs west towards Bemidji, Minnesota, and east towards Duluth, Minnesota. Highway 169 heads south to Hill City, Minnesota and ultimately towards Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the other direction, Highway 169 heads up the Mesabi Range until it reaches Virginia, Minnesota, passing through Hibbing and several other smaller towns along the way. Grand Rapids is also the start of State Highway 38, running north along the Edge of the Wilderness towards Bigfork, Minnesota. State Highway 38 has been designated a National Scenic Byway by the United States Department of Transportation.
