Proctor sits near the St. Louis River in northeastern Minnesota, where wooded uplands meet the western edge of Duluth. This small city grew as a railroad community and remains closely associated with the former Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway, whose Proctor yard handled ore trains from Minnesota’s Iron Range to Lake Superior ports. Its position connects it with Duluth’s industrial waterfront and the forests of St. Louis County, while Lake Superior lies just east of the urban area. Proctor’s annual Hoghead Festival recalls its railroading identity through a community celebration.
