History
Today, on the Cuyuna Range, the mines have closed and are filled with crystal-clear water and the hills are covered in poplar and spruce. Including over 50 unique dive sites, with visibility from 20-50 feet, a mecca for all levels of SCUBA divers. More than half of the city is located within the newly developed 5,000 acre Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, which has more than 24 miles of natural shoreline, seven miles of paved bike trail, and 70 miles of world-class, IMBA certified mountain bike trails.
The residents of Crosby have a deep sense of ownership to keep the community thriving and growing. The local newspaper, called the Crosby-Ironton Courier has been in circulation for over 100 years. Fundraising and volunteerism has led to many successful events and accomplishments.
One successful project includes completion of the Hallett Center which incorporates five facilities in one, an arena, aquatic center, fitness center, aerobic room and a meeting room. The Hallett Community Center opened in 1999 in part from a philanthropic donation from the Hallett Family Trust in answer to a visioning session by area residents. Although located in Crosby, the facility benefits all of the communities in the area.
