Suburban River Commuter History Small Business

Nestled in a bend along the St. Louis River, Cloquet exudes Midwest charm. The north part of the city lies on the other side of the river, creating a variety of viewpoints to experience the distinct change in seasons.

Gordy’s Hi-Hat, a decades-old drive- in, and Culbert’s Cafe, a classic diner, lend Cloquet a vintage feel. There’s a number of other local businesses that inhabit the historic buildings near to the water, including the Carlton County Historical Society and infamous Frank Lloyd Wright Gas Station.

New lofts and apartment communities are springing up around the area, the majority of which lie in the district bordered by MN-33 and I-35. Duluth is just 30 minutes east, along with the shores of Lake Superior.
