3 unusual facts about Duluth Works


Gary – New Duluth

Both neighborhoods are historically linked to the once vast U.S. Steel plant of the Duluth Works which was once located outside of Gary and in between Morgan Park.

Morgan Park, Duluth, Minnesota

The Duluth Works steel and cement plants, and Morgan Park itself, were not the direct result of a vast expanding industrial empire in the United States around the start of the 20th century in this area, but more in part, they were leverage in a "gentleman's agreement" between the United States Steel Corporation and the State of Minnesota.

The Morgan Park neighborhood is also known as a planned community built by U.S. Steel to serve its Duluth Works steel plant in the early 1900s.
