Cloquet, MN Condos for Sale

Cloquet, MN, known as Wood City, is a small community of approximately 12,500 residents located 20 miles southwest of Duluth. The city’s identity is deeply rooted in the timber industry, with logging trucks frequently seen delivering to the local paper mill, one of the largest employers alongside the USG plant and Community Memorial Hospital. The Fond du Lac Reservation also plays a significant role in the area. Cloquet's housing primarily consists of Craftsman homes and bungalows, rebuilt rapidly after the 1918 wildfire, with newer homes being rare due to limited expansion space.
