History


A post office called Finland has been in operation since 1915,[6] and a cooperative general store was established in 1913, which is Minnesota's longest continuously operated store. A large share of the early settlers being Finns, natives of Finland, caused the name to be selected. [7]

The visitor center is the former home of forest ranger and long time Finland resident O. M. Eckbeck, who built it in 1927.[8]

The Lutheran church was struck by lightning on July 6, 2013, and burned down.[9]


Recreation


Finland and the surrounding area host a wide array of outdoor activities. The Superior Hiking Trail (SHT), Wolf Ridge ELC, Sawmill Creek Dome, and Section 13 are located nearby. These destinations attract many hikers, rock climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Information on rock climbing at Sawmill Creek Dome and Section 13 can be found in Minnesota climbing guidebooks.[10][11]
