This RPC shows the depot site for what was once the town of Manganese, Minnesota.
Manganese was one of the last of the Cuyuna Range communities to be established, & was named after the mineral located in abundance near the town. Manganese was an incorporated community, built on land above the Trommald Formation, the main ore-producing unit of the North Range district of the Cuyuna Iron Range, unique due to the amount of manganese in part of the iron formation & ore. The Trommald Formation & adjacent Emily District are the largest resource of manganese in the United States. The community was composed of many immigrants who had fled the natural disasters & social & political upheavals in Europe during the decades before World War I.
