From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGrand Marais Station

The Border Patrol Station in Grand Marais was first established in 1924 as part of the Duluth, MN Border Patrol Sector. The Duluth Sector was abolished shortly after its inception so Grand Marais was placed under the sector headquarters located in International Falls until 1939. In August of 1939, the sector headquarters was moved to Pembina, ND and eventually to its present location in Grand Forks in October of 1939.

The Grand Marais area of operations covers the northEastern section of Minnesota, to include the shoreline of Lake Superior.

Within the city limits is Teal Lake.History

The city was built after the discovery of the Marquette Iron Range during the early 19th century. The Jackson Mine was established in 1845 to mine the ore for shipment to iron forges; the first such forge to operate in the Lake Superior basin was set up in Negaunee during this period. In 1858, the community was given a post office. In 1888, Negaunee was incorporated as a town and in 1868 the first police force was formed. Negaunee was recognized as a city in 1873. As mining operations expanded, many immigrants helped settle the area, bringing with them rich traditions that remain today. Due to extensive underground mining roughly half the city was abandoned in the early 20th century due to risk of cave-in. The city closed its trolley system in 1927. The Jackson Mine ceased all operations within the city limits in the 1940s.
