Landmark MN | Split Rock Lighthouse Lakeview Day North Shore

Led by the U.S. Steel company president, a delegation descended upon Washington, D.C. to lobby for a light station on  Lake Superior's inhospitable North Shore. Originally known as Stony Point, the name Split Rock was first used by the lobbyists when describing the location, and the name stuck. In early 1907, Congress appropriated $75,000 for a lighthouse and fog signal at Split Rock.  The U.S. Lighthouse Service completed construction of the 7.6-acre facility in 1910, and Split Rock Lighthouse was born.
