Cloquet

Cloquet is a city in Carlton County, Minnesota, located along the Saint Louis River with a mix of developed urban areas and natural water features. The community combines residential neighborhoods with commercial zones and access to surrounding natural landscapes.

The city was established in 1884 from three sawmill settlements named Shaw Town, Nelson Town, and Johnson Town located near Knife Falls. This merger shaped the community's early identity and its economic foundation.

The Fond du Lac Indian Reservation maintains administrative offices in Cloquet, contributing to the Native American presence in the region.

The city is accessible via Interstate 35 and Minnesota State Highway 33, providing connections to the regional road network. These routes make it easy to travel to nearby areas and surrounding communities.

The R.W. Lindholm Service Station was designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright and remains the only gas station ever created by this master designer. This architectural work demonstrates Wright's distinctive design approach applied to a functional everyday building.
