Minnesota History Datebook
Sept. 13, 1955: Commercial production of taconite begins at the Reserve Mining Company's plant in Silver Bay. Taconite processing had been done experimentally in 1919. Large-scale production wasn't begun until the richer ore was becoming scarce and the U of M’s Edward W. Davis perfected a method to process it. That operation in Silver Bay? It continues today as Cliffs Northshore Mining.
Sept. 17, 1961: The Minnesota Vikings football team plays its first game, beating the Chicago Bears 37-13 at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington.
