Imagine, if you will a canopy of white pine trees so thick that the blue sky and sunshine were hard to see.  This is what the first settlers saw as they moved into the area around Hinckley.

However, these settlers were not the first to inhabit the area.  The Ojibwe Indians had lived near the St. Croix River since the mid 1800's and knew of the abundance of natural wealth the land had to offer.

Because of the large stand of white pine trees in the Hinckley area, loggers migrated here and the first sawmill was built in 1869.  In the same year, the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad pushed its railroad building operation into Hinckley, and finally into Duluth by 1870.

With the coming of the railroad, the lumber industry boomed and for twenty years, Hinckley was a growing, prosperous town with a population of 1,400.
