The Mesabi Range is a geological formation located in northern Minnesota, known for its vast iron ore deposits. However, there are several synonyms that can be used to refer to this region. One commonly used term is "Iron Range," which encompasses the entire region of iron mining in Minnesota. Another synonym is "Range Country," a term that refers to the rural landscape and culture of the Mesabi region. Additionally, some people may use the more specific term "Hibbing Taconite District" to refer to a certain area within the Mesabi Range that is a major source of iron ore. Whatever the term used, the Mesabi Range remains an important part of Minnesota's history and economy.
