Nashwauk (2008 pop. est. 915) was the first mining town in Itasca County. Located between two of northeastern Minnesota's larger cities, Grand Rapids and Hibbing, on U.S. Highway 169, it offers an expanding industrial park and ample opportunities for residential development.

Tax-free JOBZ industrial sites provide an added incentive to growth-oriented companies and help make this Iron Range community a competitive location for businesses. Quality education, health care and recreational opportunities make Nashwauk an ideal place in which to live and raise a family.
