Welcome to Proctor
On behalf of the Proctor City Council and city administration, I am happy to welcome you to our
friendly and authentic community.
Rich in railroad history, Proctor offers the perfect blend of small town amenities while being only
minutes away from Spirit Mountain and the Twin Ports. With breathtaking views of Lake Superior,
this vibrant community hosts the Amsoil Snocross, South St. Louis County Fair, Proctor Speedway,
ALS Blizzard Tour, MS 150, and the Hoghead Festival celebrating our railroad history.
You can use our extensive trail system for biking, hiking, snowmobiling and ATV’s. Conveniently
located at Exit 249 on 1-35, Proctor offers lodging at our three great hotels and many dining and
family attractions.
Whether a visitor or a new Proctor citizen, our Community, Schools and City welcome you. We want
to make your time with us memorable, and we always welcome you back. Remember, “You Have A
Place In Proctor”.
Mayor Chad Ward
History of Proctor
Proudly celebrating over 125 years, the community of Proctor was created in 1892 when the Duluth,
Missabe and Northern Railroad was extended. The city was founded by Beriah Magoffin and
originally named Proctor Knott for a friend of the founder. The flat plateau in Proctor was the
perfect site for the railroad shops and storage yards. The Proctor railroad yard was once the largest
ore sorting railroad yard in the world.
For more information on our celebrated history, visit the Proctor Area Historical Museum in the
building near the Engine 225 Baldwin-Yellowstone train.
