Hinckley

Hinckley has served as a railroad town in east-central Minnesota since the late 19th century. The Kettle River runs through the surrounding pine-and-hardwood country, a landscape shaped by logging and by rail connections to wider markets. On 1 September 1894, the Great Hinckley Fire devastated the town and nearby settlements, killing more than 400 people; the Hinckley Fire Museum recounts this defining event. Rebuilt after the disaster, Hinckley now sits beside Interstate 35 on the route between the Twin Cities and Duluth.
