On This Date in Minnesota History: May 22

May 22, 1912 – “The Nopeming Sanatorium was opened for tuberculosis patients [on this date] about 10 miles from Duluth originally on about 270 acres of land bordering the St. Louis River valley. No pe ming, an Ojibwe word, was suggested by Rev. Frank Piquette of Sawyer meaning ‘out in the woods’ or ‘in the forest.’ St. Louis County Board of Commissioners voted September 13, 2005, to sell it. Nopeming Care Center closed in 2002.”
