History: Coleraine, a city in Iron Range and Trout Lake Townships, bears the name of a township in western Massachusetts. It was chosen in honor of Thomas F. Cole, who was prominent in the early development of the iron mines on the Mesabi Range and president of the Oliver Mining Company but later removed to Arizona, becoming president of a copper mining company there. The city was developed in 1904 as an Oliver Mining Company town by John Campbell Greenway, general superintendent; Oliver Mining Company was formed in the 1890s and later became part of U.S. Steel Corporation. The city is located one mile from Bovey and was designed basically as a residential community; the company-controlled administration screened potential residents. It incorporated as a village on April 20, 1909, and separated from the township on October 31, 1921; its post office was established in 1906.
Courtesy Minnesota Historical Society THE MODEL VILLAGE Coleraine (1,343 alt., 1,325 pop.), the second of the villages in the Canisteo District, was planned and built by the Oliver Iron Mining Company for its employees. Overlooking Trout Lake, it is known as the "Model Village." Timber cruisers and loggers were the first known white men to visit the site. Lumbering, however, was not responsible for the district's development. Prospectors located iron-ore deposits, which, because of their sandy admixture, were left untouched until the Oliver Iron Mining Company had successfully experimented in the concentration of ores. Thereupon, the company purchased properties in the district and agreed to a minimum annual output in return for a low royalty rate. In 1905, John Greenway, district superintendent of the Oliver, visiting the shores of Trout Lake, planned a town and named it Coleraine for Thomas F. Cole, then president of the company. While the mining company proceeded with its concentration experiments, the richer deposits were worked. The Duluth, Missabe and Northern Railroad was extended into Coleraine in 1906. The Canisteo Mine (see Bovey) was opened in 1907, and the first shipment made in 1909. Coleraine was incorporated as a village in 1909. In 1910, work was begun on a huge iron-ore concentrator, the Trout Lake Washer, in which the sand is separated from the ore by log-washers, and chips, rock, and other foreign materials are removed. Other concentration plants were built, and the region began a rapid development. The first building erected was the Greenway High School (Kerr Ave. bet. Cole and Roosevelt Ayes.), which since 1922 has housed the Itasca Junior College, the only collegiate school in Itasca County. Trout Lake's "Model Village" is very attractive, with well-planned streets and artistically grouped buildings. The Itasca Ski and Outing Club, among the most active in the Minnesota Arrowhead, has produced several national champion riders. Coleraine is a gateway to Scenic State Park.

Eagle
Ridge is cut out of Minnesota's north woods overlooking scenic Trout
Lake. Open for play in 1996, this 18-hole par 72 championship layout
was designed by Garrett Gill of Williams, Gill & Associates. Eagle
Ridge has received terrific reviews for its playability, offering
an enjoyable round for all players, with breathtaking views, wide
fairways and large greens, while challenging the serious golfer
with many great holes.
With
the assistance of $130,000 in funding from the MASC, the Ole Mangseth
Ski Jump was outfitted with plastic mats to allow for ski jump training
and competition during the non-snow months. Since this addition
was completed in 1999, usership and economic impact at the facility
have increased significantly. Athletes from throughout the U.S.
have trained in Coleraine for extended periods of time – at formal
training camps lasting as long as ten days. Both the U.S. National
Ski Jump Team and the Nordic Combined Development Team trained at
the facility in the past two years.
