City History

The Town of Herman, as it is referred to in county records, was first established in the mid-1800s. By 1910, the population was nearing 1,000, and the town boasts schools, sawmills, and more. The town and population continued to grow until a large forest fire destroyed parts of the community in 1918. Herman quickly bounced back, and with the assistance of federal housing programs, saw extensive growth in the 1930s and 1950s. In 1974, the City of Duluth announced that it intended to annex two-thirds of Herman Township, which left residents and community members outraged, as they had already applied to become a city of their own. This application was approved, however, and on December 31, 1975 the Town of Herman became the City of Hermantown.
