· *Greater Iron County Area includes the neighboring city of Ironwood, MI · ETHNIC DIVERSITY · Iron County has a rich ethnic diversity. The Welsh and English brought their knowledge of mining and with them came Italians, Finns, Slavs, and Scandinavians to work the rich iron ore mines. Many came to log and stayed on to create farms and resorts from cut over lands. The result is a mosaic of ethnic heritage that can be seen in the area’s settlement patterns, customs, and unique culinary cuisine. · “Iron County…… a development jewel” Visitors Guide | Business Development/Assistance Information | Home All rights reserved |
