ELY

Ely -

Ely's history is built on more than 100 years of exploration, discovery, development and prosperity. The Ojibwe, or Chippewa Indians have called the Ely area home for hundreds of years. In the 1700s "voyageurs" made their way into the area seeking furs - often trading with the Indians for abundant beaver pelts. By 1916, tourism began to play an important factor in the growth of Ely. Today, Ely is best known as the world's greatest canoe country and recognized for its unique wilderness and secluded resorts.
